Sentosa Island and Faber Park, Singapore

On my last day in Singapore, I took the cable car round trip to Sentosa Island and Mount Faber Park for the sum of $29 (Singapore dollars).  It's easy to get to the cable car station with a short walk from the Harbourfront MRT stop or a leisurely walk via the Sentosa boardwalk.  

 

I chose the cable car for the fantastic aerial views across the city skyline, harbour, port, straits and of course the attractions on Sentosa itself.  There are lots of activities to do on the island - some are free, but many cost extra.  

At Imbiah Lookout, there is a 37m statue of the legendary Merlion guarding the prosperity of Singapore.  Passing beyond this there are scenic walks to the beaches, Siloso Point and World Resorts Sentosa plus, of course, the inevitable souvenir shops.

 

 

The opposite end of the cable car loop is Faber Park.  Whilst there are cafes and bars, this is a beautiful area simply for a nature walk.  There are plenty of birds to be seen and a rich green rainforest covers the hillside.

At Faber Point there is a walkway winding around a series of 16 murals which depict the history of Singapore.
