With visually stunning architecture, this waterfall vortex will definitely blow your mind. It's the largest indoor waterfall in the world — standing at 130 feet tall!

How to get there

N1° 21' 36.9936"E103° 59' 23.8848"
This waterfall is on the 3rd floor of the Jewel complex at the north end of Changi Airport. I stood at the extended bridge right in front of the 3rd floor elevator. The waterfall is massive, so you can't miss it! You can visit after you land, before you take off, or even if you're not flying at all! No boarding pass required as it’s on the landside. Nightly from 7:30pm-12:30am, there is a light and sound show that runs for about 5 minutes at the waterfall. By MRT: - Changi Airport (East West Line) - Enter Terminal 1 through either the T1 Departure or Arrivals - Head north towards the waterfall

Best time

Night
You can visit this indoor space at the airport year round.
Even though this location is beautiful during the day, I wanted to capture the waterfall while it was lit up. Nightly from 7:30pm-12:30am, there is a light and sound show that runs for about 5 minutes at the waterfall, so definitely plan to visit during these times.

Field tips

Since the vortex is so large, I recommend using a wide-angle lens. I used a 16mm to capture the entire scene in my frame.
During the scheduled light and sound show the waterfall illuminates in different colors, many of which will give your image a very different feel and effect, so snap away!
Go to the 1st floor to get another perspective of the waterfall. There are so many different angles to photograph this spot from, so experiment and see which view you like best!
Bring along a tripod if you want to play around with long exposures.
