Last week, I arrived at Singapore’s Changi Airport on a business trip. As is often the case, I was in a hurry to leave the airport, get to my hotel and get on with the business of the day. Then I saw something that took my breath away and made me want to stay at the airport as long as possible. I came across an extremely large waterfall, right there in the airport! It was almost as big as the Thomson Falls.
Known as the Rain Vortex, this forty-metre waterfall is the largest indoor waterfall in the world surrounded by a massive four-storey indoor forest. More than 900 trees and 60,000 shrubs grow in this forest. The forest, waterfall and several other natural attractions are part of Jewel, Changi Airport’s new and grandeur nature-themed entertainment and retail complex.
