Overview
Opened in April 2019, Jewel Changi Airport is a multi-concept shopping and entertainment complex that turned the world's top airport into a destination in itself. The centerpiece HSBC Rain Vortex is the world's tallest indoor waterfall at 40 m, with a light-and-music show every hour. Surrounding it is the 5-story Shiseido Forest Valley indoor rainforest with around 200 species and 2,000 trees and plants. The top floor's Canopy Park features mirror mazes, sky gardens, and a foggy bridge. About 280 shops and 100 restaurants — including many Korean spots — make it ideal even during layovers. Waterfall and forest free; Canopy Park about SGD 8.5. Connected to Changi Airport Terminals 1, 2, and 3.
