The Merlion Park is the 18th stop on the Jubilee Walk. The Merlion's lion head and fish body are references to Singapore's ancient names of Singapura, meaning 'Lion City' in Sanskrit, and 'Temasek', meaning 'Sea Town' in Javanese. It was originally sited at the mouth of the Singapore River, before being moved to the Merlion Park in 2002. This statue, unveiled in 1972, blends Singapore's ancient past with its maritime progress.

The Asian Civilisations Museum is the 9th stop on the Jubilee Walk. It used to be a courthouse and a citizenship registry building before being converted into a museum. It has seven galleries showcasing weapons, quilts, clothings and many more pieces from people who lived in Asian countries like China, India and countries in South-east Asia before civilisation.
