Singapore’s new airport boasts the world’s largest indoor waterfall
Singapore‘s new Jewel Changi Airport extension is taking the experience of travelling to a whole new level, bringing a luxuriant jungle and the world’s largest indoor waterfall.
The waterfall, called the Rain Vortex, will be the center of attention of “Forest Valley”, a lush indoor garden covered by a glass dome, according to Inhabitat. Choreographed light shows will make the waterfall glow at night, illuminating the interior.
Ever since 2014, Singapore Changi’s International has taken measures to assure it is considered the world’s best airport. At the core of its plan is a mixed-use facility named the Jewel, according to the Independent. “Not only will Jewel capture the hearts and minds of travelers and boost Singapore’s appeal as a transit hub, it will enhance the Changi Airport experience for our passengers and visitors,” Jewel Changi Airport Development CEO Jean Hung said in a statement.

The Jewel consists of 10 levels, half of them underground. It includes 130 hotel rooms and over 300 dining and shopping outlets. On the top level of the Jewel is the Canopy Park, that has a botanical garden and a pair of hedge mazes.
The facility has been under construction since 2014 and is expected to open to the public at the beginning of 2019.
