It has a wide representation as a mascot to the city and its citizens in tourism branding, sports, advertising and as a national identity. No tourist ever returns from Singapore without witnessing the Merlion in all its glory.

Spectra - Waterfront Promenade Light Show

Spectra is a breathtaking light and water show that has been leaving its viewers awestruck since 2017. It is clearly viewed from the Waterfront Promenade. Combining state-of-the-art lasers, lights, water effects and projections, Spectra creates a spectacular show based on Singapore's journey of becoming the progressive cosmopolitan city it now is.

The fifteen-minute show is divided into four parts. It uses innovative water-fountain technologies such as pyramids, gyroscopic arcs, straight jets, lava and mist effects, creating a canvas for visual projections of Spectra. The heartbeat of the show is the 12-meter-high glass prism that opens into life, adding extra reflection to the show. Spectra was developed by Imagination Australia, an Australian agency, making it a phenomenal show.
