Kū maila nā kānaka me nā hōʻailona, nā hōʻailona, nā hui, a noho pū me lākou. I kēia mau lā, nui nā hui nui i kā lākou hana pono'ī: ma ka inoa o ka Coliseum e noʻonoʻo nei no Roma, inā he mea Kremlin kekahi mea e pili ana iā Moscow,ʻo Statue of Libertyʻo New York wale nō. ʻO ka mokupuni, ka moku'āina a me ke kūlanakauhaleʻo Singapore, ua hōʻailonaʻia me Merlion i ka wā kahiko,ʻo ia hoʻiʻo Merlion.
ʻO ka Legend of Merlion
Aia kekahi moʻolelo kaulana e like me ka mokupuni he kiaʻi i ke kai - he moʻo nui nui me ke poʻo e like me ka liona, a he kino e like me ka iʻa. A inā ua pilikia ka kahakai, piʻi maila ka monster mai ka wai a me nā maka ahi e luku ai i kekahi mea hoʻoweliweli. ʻO ka mōʻaukala, e like me ka moʻolelo, ua manaʻoʻiaʻo ka mō'ī mua loa o Malaki ma kekahiʻaoʻao'ēʻole o ka mokupuniʻo Tumasek, hālāwaiʻo ia me kahi liona nui. I kēia wā e hele ana e hakakā, ua nānā nā makaʻala i ka maka i nā maka a mahele me ka maluhia. Mai ia manawa, ua kūkuluʻia ka mokupuni i ke kūlanakauhale mua, a ua loaʻa ka inoa "City of Lions". ʻO kēia ka'ōlelo mua i Merlion a me Singapore. ʻO ka'ōlelo "Merlion" he hui pū me nā hua'ōlelo "mermaid" - he wahine wahine a me ka "liona" - liona, a heʻano hōʻailona o ka mana nui a me ka pili nui o ke kūlanakauhale me keʻano kai.
I ka makahiki 1964, kauohaʻia e ke Kamihana o Singapore Tourism ka mea kaulana kaulanaʻo Fraser Brunner ka inoa o ke kūlanakauhale. Ma hope o 8 mau makahiki, e like me kāna mau kiʻi, ua kahakahaʻo Lim Nan Sen i ka kiʻi Merlion, hoʻokomoʻia ma kahakai ma ka waha o ke kahawaiʻo Singapore e kokoke ana i ka hale hōkele o Fullerton. Wahi a nā luna, pono ke kūlanakauhale e loaʻa i kahi hoʻokipa maoli. Ua hōʻikeʻiaʻo Merlion he mea kupaianaha me ke poʻo o ka liona a ma loko o ke kino o kahi iʻa, a kahe mai ka muliwai nui mai kona waha. ʻOiʻia keʻano o ke kiʻi kuʻikuʻi heʻeiwa mau mika ke kiʻekiʻe a he kanahiku haneli. I ka hoʻomakaʻana o ka hōʻiliʻili o ka makahiki 1972, ua mālamaʻia ka hoʻomakaʻana o ka hanaʻo Merlion Park . Ma ke ala,ʻaʻole i mamao aku i ke kiʻi nui i ka manawa i hala aku, hoʻokomoʻia i kahi "kūka"ʻekolu mika like.
I ka makahiki 1997, ua kūkuluʻia ka Pīpī ākeaʻo Splanade e pili ana i ke kāpili ma Singapore, aʻaʻole iʻike houʻiaʻo Merlion mai ke kai. I kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua neʻeʻia ka hōʻailona o Singapore ma lalo i 120 mau mika. I ka makahiki 2009, ua anaiʻiaʻo Merlion e ka uila, akā, ua ho'ōla loaʻia. Ma hope, ma ka mokupuni'ohauʻo Sentosa i kūkulu i kahi kope nui o ka hōʻailona me kahi kiʻekiʻe o 60 mau mika. Aia ma ke kiʻi me kahi hoʻokiʻekiʻe he mau hale kūʻai, he kiʻimu, kahi hale hōʻikeʻike, a meʻelua mau hiʻohiʻonaʻike: ma ka papa 9 ma nā iwi ā o ka liona a ma ka 12 ma kona poʻo.
Me ka hōʻeaʻana o ka hōʻailona o Singapore, ua hoʻonuiʻia ka holoʻana o nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ma ka mokupuni ma miliona. I kēlā me kēia makahiki, ke ulu nei ka nui o nā hana koʻikoʻi kūikawā maʻaneʻi, e like me ke kalaiwa mākaʻikaʻi diamondʻo Marina Bay Sands me kahi wai nui ma luna o ka hale .
Pehea e hiki ai i laila?
ʻO ka hōʻailona o ke "kūlanakauhale o nā liona" aia ma kahi kokoke i ke alahaka o Esplanade. Hiki iāʻoe ke hele ma laila ma ka halihali lehulehu, e like me ke kaʻa no No. 10, 10e, 57, 70, 100, 107, 128, 130, 131, 162 a me 167.ʻO ke kūʻanaʻo OUE Bayfront. Hiki iāʻoe ke mālama i kahi 15% o ka haʻawina e hoʻohana ana i nā palapala 'āina lola kūikawāʻo Singapore Tourist Pass a me Ez-Link .
