Singapore : Marina Bay Day and Night

Marina Bay is a 24/7 destination.  You can go here either by day or night. My kids were so tired the whole day in visiting Sentosa. They were already sleeping when I asked them to wake up because our day is not yet ended.  I really pushed them to go to Marina Bay at night because there's a free light show during 8pm and 9:30pm every Sunday to Thursday and an additional show at 11pm during Fridays and Saturdays.

If you're taking a train, the nearest stations to Marina Bay are Bayfront Avenue, Marina Bay or Premonade Stations .  Another way is to ride a bus (03511 or 03519), the drop off point is along the Bayfront Avenue. 





the free lightshow every night... a must watch!


After the lightshow, my baby fell asleep, so jealous coz he can sleep anytime he wants... We were so tired but still we dropped by to Bugis to buy some food...


pagod pa yan...hehe =)


kulitan blues, walking underground... looking for our way to Bugis

hahaha =)

walked from Marina Bay to One Raffles Quay

The next day, we went back to Marina Bay because we're about to go back to Malaysia on that day but still we haven't seen yet the real Merlion of Singapore. When we went to Marina Bay during night time we did'nt know that we just need to walk more to see the real merlion.  A Merlion is a creature with lion's head and the fish' body.  It is the tourism icon of Singapore.

Merlion measures 8.60 meters high and weighs 40 tonnes.  We've seen the 37 meters Merlion Replica at Sentosa.  The second one is the two-meter merlion near the original merlion.  The third one is the one behind these kids at Merlion Park.  The forth one is the three meters glazed polymarble statue at Tourism court.  And the fifth and last merlion is also 3 meters in height placed on Mount Faber's Point.


Yun oh!

Merlion's original location is at the Esplanade bridge but was shifted to this location in 2002.  It is now adjacent to One Fullerton Hotel.



cute talaga ng bebe ko =)


If your going to Merlion Park, the easiest way is to ride a bus in going to One Fullerton.  Another option is to go to Raffles Place MRT Station and walk along the riverfront. Or much better to go to Clarke Quay and then take a boat ride and go down to Merlion Park.  It is worth visiting the Merlion Park because it is the monument that represents the city of  Singapore.
