Mount Faber
Mount Faber was named after Captain Charles Edward Faber in 1845. Due to it's high vantage point, it was once a defence fort for colonial Singapore.
On 17 January 1965, Mount Faber Scenic Park was officially opened by Singapore’s former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.
Singapore Cable Car, launched in 1974, was the first attraction on the hill. The cable car remains an iconic attraction and a families' favourite at the hilltop destination till today. Before the Sentosa Gateway and Sentosa Express were constructed, Singapore Cable Car was one of the 2 ways to visit the country's island of leisure and fun - Sentosa.
