1 JEWEL CHANGI

Few places in the world count an airport as one of their top tourist attractions. Connected to the arrival hall of Terminal 1 at Changi airport is the futuristic Jewel retail complex which opened in 2019. After touching down in the city-state, head to the astounding Rain Vortex, which cascades 40 metres down from a steel and glass dome. The world’s tallest indoor waterfall sits at the core of the concentric Shiseido Forest Valley, where more than 900 lush trees and palms, along with approximately 50,000 shrubs, infiltrate each of the seven storeys – with viewing platforms on each level. The top floor is home to the 14,000 sqm Canopy Park, which offers great vistas and attractions for kids, while the basement levels (B1 and B2) give you the sensation that you’re touching the water, protected behind a glass wall. On the eco side, the water is collected and used for flushing toilets and watering the plants in the airport. In the evening, you can enjoy the nightly light and sound shows.
