Sea Lion Statues

Sea Lion Statues are a fascinating symbol of Singapore, combining the head of a lion with the body of a fish. Standing 8.6 meters tall and weighing 70 tons, this impressive sculpture is an iconic part of the cityscape.

The name Singapore means 'lion city' in Sanskrit, which is reflected in the statue's lion's head, while the fish body symbolizes the city's origins as a fishing village.

The vantage point at the statue offers a great view of Marina Bay and the surrounding area. It's the perfect spot for souvenir photos with the distinctive stream of water gushing from the mythical creature's mouth.
