The Merlion is one of the key icons of Singapore, and the 8m-tall Merlion at the Merlion Park is among the top must-see attractions for many tourists. 

But a Chinese tourist who was recently visiting Merlion Park was left underwhelmed by the Merlion. As it turns out, the one she saw was the smaller, 2m-tall version of the Merlion statue. 

"I'm a little disappointed after seeing the Merlion. It's a small sculpture that sprays water. Back at home, [I] can easily find a fountain larger than this at any garden," she wrote on her Xiaohongshu post.
