Sentosa, previously called Pulau Blakang Mati, is a resort island in Singapore. It was once a British military base and a Japanese prisoner of war camp, and many Chinese were found killed on its beach during the Japanese occupation. The island was renamed Sentosa and turned into a tourist destination in 1972, and it is now home to a popular resort that receives some twenty million visitors per year.[2] Attractions include a 2 km (1.2 mi) long sheltered beach, Fort Siloso, two golf courses, the Merlion, 14 hotels, and the Resorts World Sentosa, featuring the theme park Universal Studios Singapore and one of Singapore's two casinos.

Sentosa is marked as Blacan mati (left, above Singapura) in this 1604 map of Singapura by the Malay-Portuguese cartographer Manuel Godinho de Erédia. The Malay Peninsula (Ujontana) to the right.
The name Sentosa translates as "peace and tranquility" in Malay, which was in turn derived from the Sanskrit term Santosha (संतोष), meaning "contentment, satisfaction".[3][4] Sentosa was formerly known as Pulau Blakang Mati[5][6] which in Malay means the "Island of Death Behind".[7][8]
The name Blakang Mati is old; an island was identified as Blacan Mati in Manuel Godinho de Erédia's 1604 map of Singapore. Other early references to the island of Blakang Mati include Burne Beard Island in Wilde's 1780 MS map, Pulau Niry, Nirifa from 1690 to 1700, and the nineteenth century reference as Pulau Panjang (J.H. Moor). However, early maps did not separate Blakang Mati from the adjacent island of Pulau Brani, so it is uncertain to which island the seventeenth century place names referred.
The island has changed name several time. Up to 1830, it was called Pulau Panjang ("long island"). In an 1828 sketch of Singapore Island, the island is referred to as Po. Panjang. According to Bennett (1834), the name Blakang Mati was only given to the hill on the island by the Malay villagers on the island. The Malay name for this island is literally translated as "dead back" or "behind the dead"; blakang means "at the back" or "behind" or "after"; mati means "dead". It is also called the "dead island" or the "island of the dead" or perhaps "island of after death".

圣淘沙
鱼尾狮搭為圣淘沙的著名地標之一
圣淘沙（马来语：Sentosa），在马来语中意为「宁静」，是很受欢迎的新加坡岛屿和旅游胜地，每年有2千万游客到访。岛的南岸有长度超过2公里的海滩，二战留下的西罗索炮台（Fort Siloso）、两个高尔夫球场及7間酒店。當中包括圣淘沙名胜世界及新加坡環球影城主題公園。
目录
历史
圣淘沙岛最初只是一个小的渔村，名叫Pulau Belakang Mati，在马来语中是「背后潜伏着活的岛」之意。在二战中，这里是英国的军事要塞，建有西罗索炮台等工事。英军在此部署了防卫火炮，指向南方，准备抵抗日本从海上的进攻。然而，日本人最终从北面进攻和占领了新加坡，与之前入侵马来亚（现在的西马来西亚或马来西亚半岛）使用的是相同的伎俩。
1967年，英国人将该岛交还给了新成立的新加坡政府。1972年，新加坡政府决定将该岛开发成国内假日旅游景区。这样，根据公众的建议，该岛被重新命名为“圣淘沙”，即马来语「宁静」之意。1974年，來往圣淘沙及花柏山的纜車系統正式啟用。
其後1980年代至1990年代，島上陸續興建多項遊樂設施，包括修復西罗索炮台、興建Singapore & Surrender Chambers 博物館、音樂噴泉及海底世界。到了1992年，來往圣淘沙陸地的天橋正式啟用。然而，圣淘沙內絕大部份遊樂設施均需收費，使當地人對該處逐漸失去興趣。因此，有一個笑話說：「圣淘沙又昂貴，也沒有東西看」。[1]
因此自2006年起，新加坡政府決定在島內興建聖淘沙名勝世界及新加坡環球影城主題公園，並將島內的設施進行改建工程，以吸引本地人及海外旅客。但環保評估報告指該工程造成生物多樣性的喪失，棲息地的破壞，土壤侵蝕，氣候變化以及其他一些破壞性的生態影響。[2]
到了2007年起，島內原有的碼頭、噴泉花園、音樂噴泉及Asian Village等設施因興建聖淘沙雲頂世界及新加坡環球影城主題公園而被迫拆卸。原址於2010年至2011年完成發展。
地理
圣淘沙岛南部的沙灘
圣淘沙岛面积5平方公里，距离新加坡本岛南岸只有半公里（1/4英里），是新加坡第四大岛屿（除本岛外）。岛屿面积的70%被次生雨林覆盖，栖息着巨蜥、猴、孔雀和鹦鹉等动物以及各种其他当地的动植物群。岛上还有3.2公里长的白色沙滩。近来大面积的土地正被通过填海添加到圣淘沙。

history
Sentosa Island was originally a small fishing village named Pulau Belakang Mati. In Malay it means "living islands hidden behind it." In World War II, this was Britain's military fortress and built fortifications such as the Siloso Fort. The British forces deployed defensive artillery here, pointing south, ready to resist Japan’s offensive from the sea. However, the Japanese eventually attacked and occupied Singapore from the north, and used the same tricks as previously invading Malaya (now West Malaysia or Peninsular Malaysia).
In 1967, the British returned the island to the newly established Singapore government. In 1972, the Singaporean government decided to develop the island into a domestic holiday tourist attraction. In this way, according to public suggestions, the island was renamed "Sentosa", meaning "quiet" in Malay. In 1974, the cable car system between Sentosa and Huabaishan was officially opened.
From the 1980s to the 1990s, the island successively built a number of amusement facilities, including restoration of the Siloso Fort, the construction of the Singapore & Surrender Chambers Museum, the musical fountain and the underwater world. In 1992, the bridge over the Sentosa land was officially opened. However, the vast majority of amusement facilities in Sentosa require a fee, causing locals to gradually lose interest in the site. Therefore, there is a joke saying: "Sentosa is expensive and there is nothing to read." [1]
Therefore, since 2006, the Singaporean government has decided to build Resorts World Sentosa and Universal Studios Singapore theme parks on the island, and to transform the island's facilities to attract locals and overseas visitors. However, the environmental assessment report indicated that the project caused the loss of biodiversity, habitat destruction, soil erosion, climate change and other destructive ecological impacts. [2]
Since 2007, the island’s original docks, fountain gardens, musical fountains, and Asian Village facilities have been demolished due to the construction of Genting World Sentosa and Universal Studios Singapore. The original site was completed in 2010-2011.

geography
Sentosa Southern Beach
Sentosa Island, an area of 5 square kilometers, is only half a kilometer (1/4 mile) from the south bank of Singapore's main island. It is Singapore's fourth largest island (except the island). Seventy percent of the island’s area is covered by secondary rainforests, with animals such as monitor lizards, monkeys, peacocks and parrots, and various other local flora and fauna. The island has 3.2 kilometers of white sandy beaches. Large areas of land have recently been added to Sentosa through reclamation.

八一八川普金正恩“约会”地的黑历史
独家网 林夕 2018-06-06 16:12
评论
我要分享
美国总统川普和朝鲜最高领导人金正恩的“历史性约会”定于6月12日。那么，“约会”地点自然是要好好挑选了。就在昨天，美国白宫新闻发言人桑德斯在推特声明，二位的“约会”地点定于新加坡圣淘沙岛。
圣淘沙岛，嗯，名字听起来不错。不过，这究竟是个什么地方呢？笔者带你一探究竟。
海盗乱象
新加坡位于印度和中国之间主要航线的黄金海域，这让它占据了海上贸易的理想之地。在19世纪作为英国的贸易站，新加坡开始建立了自己的地位。但在此之前，新加坡也是相当繁荣的贸易中心，商贩也是络绎不绝。当然，各方海盗也是时常光顾。圣淘沙岛最初的名字叫Pulau Blakang Mati，后来人们直接译为“死亡之岛”（island behind deat），顾名思义，自然是源于那一带暴力海盗的臭名。
大屠杀遗址
在英国殖民部队战败后，新加坡在1942年沦落于日本手中。它被“赐予”了一个新的日本名字Syonan，意思是南方之光。先提一句，岛上的人口主要是马来人、中国人和布吉人。在接下来的几年里，日本人屠杀成千上万的人，清除来自华人社区的反日人员。18岁至50岁的中国男子被召集到不同的地点，然后被机关枪扫射，再扔进海里。其中圣淘沙岛的沙滩就是大屠杀遗址，而在即将举行“特金会”的酒店里，能够俯瞰这个地方。在圣淘沙岛，日本还建立了一个战俘营，关押了400名盟军士兵和枪手。
旅游热潮和致命事故
在20世纪70年代，新加坡政府重新命名圣淘沙岛，意为“和平和宁静”，并打算将其发展为旅游景点。但是，这座岛屿仍旧问题不断。1983年1月30日，圣淘沙岛一条索道被一艘石油钻探船撞断钢丝绳，两个车厢从60米高空坠入大海，7人死亡。此前，一个名为梦幻岛屿的水上乐园开业，但却经常受到安全隐患投诉。一个8岁的小女孩2000年在这家乐园游玩，在皮筏翻倒后被水淹死。这家公园也在两年后关门。后来，圣淘沙岛又以新的面貌重现世人，一个环球影城主题公园，一个新的水上乐园和名胜世界赌场，以此每年都能吸引可成千上万的新加坡人和游客。
富人名流的娱乐场
位于圣淘沙岛的圣淘湾住宅区（Sentosa Cove）是世界级的富豪聚居区，在那里你能发现带游艇码头的房屋（车位算什么）。一些新加坡极度奢华的酒店和米其林餐厅里随处可见高尔夫球场。
那么终极问题来了，为啥就敲定圣淘沙岛了呢？
首先，它在新加坡南部，位于新加坡本岛以南500米处，不远不近，也确保了安全性。其次，进入该岛的方式非常少，很容易进行安全部署。这里只有缆车，单轨电车，人行通道和汽车隧道。最后，如果谈累了怎么办，川普不得带着金正恩打打高尔夫嘛？
笔者此前写过一篇关于金正恩坐骑的文章。鉴于圣淘沙岛如此的地理位置，还坐什么飞机,完全可以开着游艇来赴会!

The Black History of the "Dating" Place in Jinan's "Dating" in 1988

U.S. President Trump and North Korea’s top leader Kim Jong Eun’s “historic date” is scheduled for June 12. Well, the "date" location is naturally a good choice. Just yesterday, White House Spokesman Saunders stated in Twitter that the two “dating” sites were scheduled for Singapore’s Sentosa Island.
Sentosa Island, eh, the name sounds good. However, what exactly is this? The author takes you to find out.
Pirate chaos
Singapore is located in the golden waters of major routes between India and China, which makes it an ideal location for maritime trade. In the 19th century as a British trading station, Singapore began to establish its own status. But before that, Singapore was also a very prosperous trade center, and vendors were also in an endless stream. Of course, pirates from all sides are also frequent patrons. The original name of Sentosa Island was Pulau Blakang Mati. Later, people translated it directly as "island behind deat." As the name suggests, it naturally originated from the notoriously violent pirates.
Massacre ruins
_101864574_hi047199497
After the defeat of the British colonial force, Singapore fell into the hands of Japan in 1942. It was "given" a new Japanese name Syonan, meaning the light of the South. First, the population of the island is mainly Malay, Chinese, and Buji. In the next few years, the Japanese massacred tens of thousands of people and eliminated anti-Japanese personnel from the Chinese community. Chinese men between the ages of 18 and 50 were summoned to different locations, then shot by machine guns and then thrown into the sea. The beach of Sentosa Island is a site of massacre, and in the upcoming "special gold" hotel, it can overlook this place. On Sentosa Island, Japan also established a prisoner of war camp and held 400 Allied soldiers and gunners.
Tourism boom and fatal accident
In the 1970s, the Singapore government renamed Sentosa Island, which means "peace and peace" and intends to develop it as a tourist attraction. However, the island is still experiencing constant problems. On January 30, 1983, a cableway on Sentosa Island was broken by an oil drilling ship. Two cars fell from the height of 60 meters into the sea and 7 people died. Previously, a water park called Dream Island opened, but it is often complained of security risks. An 8-year-old girl played in this park in 2000 and was drowned after the skin fell over. The park also closed after two years. Later, Sentosa Island returned to the world with a new look, a Universal Studios theme park, a new water park and Resorts World Casino, so as to attract thousands of Singaporeans and tourists every year.

The Sentosa Cove in Sentosa Island is a world-class retreat where you can find houses with marinas (what parking spaces are). There are golf courses in some of Singapore's most extravagant hotels and Michelin restaurants.
So the ultimate question came, and why did you decide on Sentosa Island?
First, it is located in the southern part of Singapore, 500 meters south of Singapore's main island. It is not too near, and it also ensures security. Second, there are few ways to enter the island and it is easy to deploy safely. There are only cable cars, monorails, pedestrian paths and car tunnels. Finally, if you talk about how to get tired, Trump should not play golf with Kim Jong-un.
The author previously wrote an article about Kim Jong Eun’s mount. In view of the geographical location of Sentosa Island, what kind of plane is still available, and it is entirely possible to visit the yacht!
