Sentosa Island
Sentosa Island is not called ‘Asia’s Favourite Playground’ for nothing. Sentosa, which means ‘peace and tranquility’ in Malay, is a man-made island located south of the Singapore’s city centre. Visited by millions of people every year, the popular resort is home to a variety of themed attractions, rainforests, stunning beaches, a yacht marina and posh residences. It is hard to believe that before Sentosa became Singapore’s most popular island resort getaway it was a fortress of the British forces in the 19th century. It was only in 1967 that the island was returned to the government and turned it into a holiday resort.
Jak zwykle u Ciebie, ciekawe miejsce i fajne zdjęcia. 🙂

Hi Jacek, I don’t think Sentosa is a man-made island. But yes, it was used as a British military fortress during WW2 until the surrender to the Japanese. Nice to see gorgeous photos of my country here! Cheers.
