The Merlion is a symbol of Singapore that has developed from a small fishing village. It is also a iconic tourist attraction in Singapore. The design inspiration of the Merlion comes from a legend in the Malay Annals: In the 11th century, Prince Sang Nila Utama visited Singapura and saw a lion. The lion head of the Merlion represents that lion, while the fish tail symbolizes the ancient city of Temasek (which means "sea" in Javanese). Today, the area around Merlion Park is filled with skyscrapers and is known as Singapore's financial and business district.
