Sentosa Island
The theme-park island is a popular weekend spot and one of the
most visited attractions in Singapore. A day's excursion could turn
into an overnight stay in any one of the hotels or camping sites.
The island is enveloped by a high-speed monorail and linked to
downtown Singapore by a 1,640ft (500m) causeway and cable car
system. Entertainment ranges from soaking up the sun on the
imported-sand beaches to visiting a variety of entertainment areas.
From a moving walkway one can experience the sea life of The
Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon. The Images of Singapore
Exhibition explores Singapore's history in life-size dioramas. On
the furthest western point of the island lies Fort Siloso from
which Singapore guarded its territory against invading Japanese
forces. Other attractions include the Merlion, the Musical Fountain
and the Sentosa Luge. A distinctive landmark is the Carlsberg Sky
Tower, Asia's tallest free-standing observation tower, which
affords the best views of Singapore as well as breathtaking vistas
across Sentosa and the Southern Islands, and even Malaysia and
Indonesia on clear days.
