THE HIDDEN JEWEL AMONG THE AIRPORT TERMINALS - PART 2



5th JULY 2019 ~ The Rain Vortex attracted all the visitors more than anything else at the Jewel of Changi Airport. Water cascading down from the top of seven-storey high inside a thick glass tunnel created the image of water falling down from a hole in the sky. People were trying hard to get themselves photographed in front of the waterfall from different angles and levels of the vortex.






















If you feel the Singapore tropical weather was not kind enough, this should be the perfect place to cool down and pretend that you are in a lush, green jungle where the air was fresh and rejuvenating.







This place reminds me so much of Gardens by the Bay.
















The students and teachers of SMK Dato Jaafar seemed to enjoyed themselves more at this place for their benchmarking trip compared to the previous venue.


I will definitely have to make a return trip to this place again one day. There are more things to do and see and I need a longer time to do that.

THE HIDDEN JEWEL AMONG THE AIRPORT TERMINALS - PART 1


5th JULY 2019 ~ After the so called academic visit to the National University of Singapore, a busload of teachers and students from SMK Dato Jaafar headed to Changi Airpot. No, we were not flying anywhere but to visit its latest attraction - the Jewel, the luxurious mall hidden among airport terminals.


We were greeted by this security robot at the entrance.








The main attraction of Jewel Changi Airport - the Rain Vortex. It is the world's largest indoor waterfall at 40 metres in height.















Then there were this spot which housed a number of eating outlets. In fact, there were many restaurants here but finding halal food could be a challenge.














There was also an indoor park which reminded me so much of Garden by the Bay.

















There were so many things to see but we had only about one hour and a half to spend.
