Singapore's Changi Airport has consistently been voted the best airport in the world and kept its title for the 12th consecutive year at the 2023 awards. Along with it, Changi Airport also won the award for the World’s Best Airport Leisure Amenities, maintaining its position as the most entertaining airport in the world for long layovers. This list was updated to include new attractions that Changi has opened over the months as well as facilities that have reopened after the pandemic restrictions. HSBC Rain Vortex - Jewel Changi Airport •Spectacular by day Flowing 40 metres down to the basement, the mighty cascade will mesmerise you as the sunlight catches the spray. •Stunning by night When the sky outside darkens, the continuous pour of the HSBC Rain Vortex takes on a mystic splendour. Come nightfall, the sheet of water becomes a screen on which a light-and-sound show is projected. Relax at one of the many vantage points surrounding it and enjoy the show. SHISEIDO FOREST VALLEY EXPLORE ETERNAL SPRING WITHIN JEWEL Step out of the airport right into a lush green sanctuary, a tranquil retreat in the core of the world's best transport hub. Immerse yourself in this garden wonderland and meet Singapore, the City in a Garden. Shiseido is the proud sponsor of the Shiseido Forest Valley. Experience the SENSE installation at the Shiseido Forest Valley’s west trail, with dancing lights illuminating the trees, soothing music playing in the background, and the signature scent of SHISEIDO Ultimune, your senses will be truly delighted. OPENING HOURS Open daily: 24 hours LOCATION:- Shiseido Forest Valley: Entry and exit points between Level 1 to Level 4 PRACTICAL INFORMATION:- Allow half an hour for each trail, at a comfortable pace with ample time for photo-taking. There are several exit points and seats along the way. Luggage and wheeled bags are not allowed, but can be left at our baggage storage. - Suitable for all ages. - High heels not recommended. SHISEIDO FOREST VALLEY:- Explore idyllic landscapes bathed in natural sunlight, a spectacular waterfall at the core. You'll discover intriguing plants from all around the world, with more than 900 trees and palms, and about 60,000 shrubs in this verdant indoor garden. WALKING TRAILS:- Take a gentle hike up through the Shiseido Forest Valley to the Canopy Park on Jewel's topmost level. The eastern trail leads you past rocky falls, while mists enhance your trek through the western trail. Admire the wide vistas across the Shiseido Forest Valley and find enchantment at every turn. Singapore 🇸🇬 is not your typical South East Asia city that you have visited i.e. Thailand🇹🇭, Philippines 🇵🇭, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Indonesia 🇮🇩, Vietnam 🇻🇳 e.t.c. A combination of Modern Architecture surrounded by old British 🇬🇧 colonial buildings with lush foliage on the skyscrapers. Very westernized and contemporary yet still preserve the old rustic looks of old village settings. The price of accommodation and food tends to be on the pricey side if you dine on a mostly touristy flank. Go to hawker centers for cheaper options in Singapore 🇸🇬. There is plenty of it here and to approximate is beyond comparison. Hope you relish the adventure of staying here in Singapore 🇸🇬.
Note for your next time in KLIA, transport from KLIA to KLIA 2, rather than dragging your bags to get on the shuttle bus, there's actually a train connection running every 15 - 20 minutes. For a layover at KLIA 2, rather than sleeping on the chairs, you have facilities at the airport such as the Capsule Hotel and Transit Hotel in the terminal building, and Tune Hotel across the road, connected to the terminal. #safetravels
Food isn't that expensive in Singapore but it is expensive to live there. The average 1 br apartment is $3000 USD to rent and to own just a Toyota, you have to pay $110,000 USD just for the license. Then just a crappy, regular Toyota costs over $100k USD in Singapore (so basically more than a Porsche would cost in Europe). So anyone you see driving in a car in Singapore basically put down $220,000 USD for the privilege - most Americans don't even have that kind of money. Not to mention all the taxes and other high costs of living outside of food. So it's not just "a little bit more expensive than the rest of Asia". It's actually A LOT more expensive than Europe or the US. More similar to the cost of living of Hong Kong and the rest of East Asia.
How come you can get out to the landslide at Changi airport without having to have your cargo luggages with you???? The airline you travel with SHOULD NOT have allowed it for security reasons.
We booked with the same airline for our flight to Singapore and Melbourne so we checked the bags in at KL and only had to collect them when we got to Australia 😊
Thank you so much, we loved it so much can't wait to come back one day and actually see the city this time 😅 we can't wait to put out the NZ vlogs now!
