Of all the times that I have been to Singapore this is my first ride on the cable car here.
I was going to take the cable car to Sentosa Island on my last trip in 2005 but it was closed due to maintenance.
This time around I finally got another chance so I took the opportunity to go over to Sentosa by cable car.
Plus the kids wanted to try a couple of new rides that weren't there 3 years ago.
We took a glass bottom cable car in the hope of getting a better view but it was hardly worth it because the glass panels were tiny.
We jumped on at Mt Faber on the way over and jumped off at Harbour Front on the way back because we were going to meet imstress at VivoCity for lunch.

I went to this island not because I'm a fan of fun rides. But there is one ride that excites me here, the high ride cable car to the island.
From Chinatown, we took the one-stop train to HarbourFront where the cable cars are stationed. At the station, we chose the car that stops by Mt. Faber Park before heading straight to Sentosa.
At the Island, we saw many people, both young and old, queuing for the fun rides. But for me, I opted for the free tram ride which surprisingly, brought us to the tranquil side of the island, the beaches of Sentosa. There are three beaches namely - the Siloso, Palawan and Tanjong beaches. We've been to Siloso and Palawan beaches.

This is where you will take your cable car ride to Sentosa Island. It's an attractive blue glass building. There's a beautiful fountain outside. Keppel is one of Singapore's largest multinational groups. It's business includes banking and real estate.

Take the cable car to and from sentosa island and get great views across Singapore harbour and the city. The cable cars go from Mount Faber, stop off at the world trade centre, through which they pass (see pic) and then onto Sentosea island. If you wish to see Mount Faber (and it's quite nice) get the taxi here to cross to sentosa. On your return from sentosa, get off the cable car at the World Trade Centre as it is MUCH easier to get a tazi here from the next door shopping centre than up on Mount Faber.
