The Lion Monument is carved into a shallow cave, depicting a dying lion with an expression of sorrow and pain, weakly lying on the ground with a sharp long arrow deeply embedded in its spine. Its forepaw presses a broken spear and shield, which bear the Swiss cross emblem and the French royal fleur-de-lis symbol. In front of the Lion Monument lies a clear lake, often frequented by mandarin ducks and wild ducks, providing a pleasant scenery. Summer concerts are regularly held here, which can be enjoyed for free. After taking a commemorative photo with the Lion Monument, you may choose to purchase souvenirs from the nearby shops, depending on your preference, before proceeding to visit the adjacent Glacier Park. The monument is open all year round, accessible 24/7. Important Tip: There are many watch shops near the Lion Monument, but they tend to be more expensive than elsewhere, so purchasing here is not highly recommended.
