Fight travel lethargy at wellness space in T2 transit area

Occupying more than 400 sq m - nearly the size of a basketball court - the wellness space, called Fit&Fun Zone, is on level three of the T2 transit area. It comprises five zones with various activities.

In the green zone, travellers can relax on six swinging pendulum chairs while taking in views of Dreamscape - a garden that combines a digital "sky" ceiling, fish and more than 20,000 plants - from above. This is meant to provide them with quiet respite from the bustling airport environment.

In the orange zone, travellers can de-stress by hitting soft punching bags and jabbing three-dimensional petal structures on a wall.

In the pink zone, they can work their muscles using pull-down levers connected to 2kg to 8kg weights, and watch the light balls in the zone change colours when the levers are pulled.
