Merlion Park

This park features a fountain that has come to be considered the symbol of Singapore: a lion’s head on a fish’s body is the source of the water.

National Library Singapore and Garden Walks

The National Library is Singapore’s largest library, and it has recently been relocated to a slick, award-winning new building cleverly surrounded by a maze of gardens that function as natural air conditioners for the library.

The Elephant Statue and Old Parliament House
