Dragon Teeth Gate
In the 18th and 19th centuries, sharp-edged rocks were aplenty around the island. The Chinese believed these rocks were the Sea Dragon King’s teeth and named the maritime gateway to Sentosa (then known as Pulau Blakang Mati) ‘Long Ya Men’ or ‘Dragon’s Teeth Gate’.

Sentosa’s coastal forests are one of a few that are left in Singapore. The forests are home to endangered plants like the Seashore Mangosteen and the Dracena Minyagi, which is the oldest tree species on Sentosa at 200 years old.
