I disagree that Merlion is the best icon to represent Singapore. I feel that they are many more icons to represent Singapore. For example, Sentosa, the Singapore Flyer, Esplanade and Marina Bay Sands. I think that icon means something that can represent the country in terms of things. Although Merlion is very famous and many people visit the Merlion Park when they visit Singapore, I still think that there are other magnificent infrastructures to represent Singapore.
Sentosa is an island in Singapore. There are many attractions there such as Universal Studios Singapore, Adventure Cove and Underwater World. These are the few very famous attractions in Sentosa. Every year, about 20 million people visits Sentosa. This shows that many people visit this place and this place is a good icon to represent Singapore.
Esplanade is also a good representation of Singapore. Esplanade is a 60,000 square metres performing arts centre located in Marina Bay near the mouth of the Singapore River. It is where many famous theatre works are presented in. It is also one of the good icons to represent Singapore.
Singapore Flyer is also another good icon to represent Singapore. The Singapore Flyer is a giant Ferris wheel in Singapore that was built in 2008. Based on a report in 2014, about 7.3 million people visit the Singapore Flyer annually.
Therefore, I feel that there are other better icon to represent Singapore. Merlion is not the only icon to represent Singapore best as there are numerous icons to better represent Singapore.
