Rare people choose Saint John's Island 🏝️🇸🇬

#winhkflight Saint John's Island also known as St John's is an island in the Straits of Singapore located 6.5 km off the southern coast of Singapore. With an area of 0.41 km², it is the largest of the Marine Park islands which also include the Sisters' Islands and Pulau Tekukor. St John’s Island formerly housed a quarantine station for cholera cases detected among immigrants in the late 19th century and starting from 1901, victims of beri-beri were also brought to the island. By 1930, the island gained world recognition as a quarantine centre screening for Asian immigrants and pilgrims returning from Mecca. The quarantine station was eventually also used to house victims of other diseases, such as leprosy. When mass immigration was closed in the mid-20th century, the island was used to house a penal settlement and also a drug rehabilitation centre, but all that has changed now into something totally different! You will need to purchase the tickets for ferry departs Marina South Pier. $15 for each island (there are 3). You can purchase online too. Make sure you check the schedule so you don’t miss any ferry! I want to travel to Hong Kong to get on their cruise!
