The Merlion is an iconic landmark in Singapore, located on the Singapore River in the city center. It symbolizes the country's development from a small fishing village. The design of the Merlion is inspired by a legend in the Malay Annals. In the 11th century, a prince named Sang Nila Utama saw a lion while patrolling Singapura. The lion's head on the Merlion represents that lion, and the fish tail symbolizes the ancient city of Temasek (meaning "sea" in Javanese). Today, the area around Merlion Park has developed into Singapore's financial and commercial center with a skyline of high-rise buildings.

Little India is a gathering place for Singapore's Indian community, with the earliest Indian immigrants arriving in 1819, followed by more Indian communities settling here, forming the scale of today. Little India has many ancient shops and small stalls scattered along the roadside, alleys, and backstreets, where residents can purchase necessities. Here, you can experience the rich Indian folk culture, such as Serangoon Road, one of Singapore's oldest roads, which evolved from a name story. Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, specializing in the worship of the goddess Kali, is one of the must-see attractions in Little India. The bustling Saturday and Sunday evenings are particularly lively, as Singaporean Indian workers like to come here to eat, shop, or hang out with friends. Mustafa Centre, a shopping center in Little India, has affordable prices and sells a variety of Indian-style household decorations, clothing fabrics, electronic products, and other Indian-style products. In Little India, you can also experience henna tattoos. In addition, The Banana Leaf Apolo, Muthu's Curry Restraurant, and Komalas Vegetarian Snacks are also worth a try. Although there have been riots in the past, Little India is currently safe, and it is recommended that everyone experience this place with ethnic features.
