Colorful beams slice the night sky into vibrant sections – the must-see light show at Marina Bay Sands

To capture the most beautiful views of the show, reporters recommend heading to Merlion Park in the evening. Start by taking a photo with the iconic Merlion statue, striking the “money-catching” pose made famous by Dali in the Taiwanese drama “In Time with You.” As night deepens and the city lights begin to glow, the reflections of urban lights shimmer on the river. Up close, you’ll see the forest of skyscrapers that make up the financial district behind the Merlion, and in the distance, you can admire Marina Bay Sands, the Lotus Museum, the Singapore Flyer, and what locals jokingly call the “durian” – the Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay.

At the same time, because of the wide-open views, many photography enthusiasts flock here at night, setting up tripods to claim their favorite spots and capture the beauty of Singapore’s nightscape through their lenses. If you simply want to enjoy the light show, there’s a row of steps along the riverside where visitors can sit back and relax while taking it all in.
