It has a 360-degree light and sound show projected onto it. Jewel was envisioned to combine a marketplace and an urban park. The component of the traditional mall is combined with the experience of nature, culture, education and recreation, aiming to provide an uplifting experience.

Jewel Changi Airport in Singapore is a world-class architectural marvel that blurs the line between an aviation hub and a nature-themed entertainment complex. Its most iconic and unique feature is the HSBC Rain Vortex, which stands at 40 meters (131 feet) and is the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. This spectacular feature is surrounded by the Shiseido Forest Valley, a five-story indoor garden with over 2,000 trees and 100,000 shrubs, creating a lush tropical sanctuary inside a glass-and-steel dome. Unlike traditional airport terminals, Jewel is located outside the transit area (accessible to the public), serving as a bridge between Terminals 1, 2, and 3. In 2026, it remains a "destination in itself" for both locals and travelers, featuring a massive IMAX cinema, a trampoline park, canopy bridges, and over 280 retail and dining outlets. It represents the "airport of the future" concept, where the layout is designed to maximize passenger wellness and provide a stunning, immersive environment that is unlike any other airport on Earth.
