Singapore's Changi Airport just opened 'Jewel,' a $1.3 billion mall boasting the world's tallest indoor waterfall, an IMAX movie theatre, and a hotel.
Following is a transcript of theSingapore's Changi Airport has already snagged the title of world's best airport for seven years running, and its newest expansion is only tightening its grip on the title.
Built on what was once a parking lot, Jewel now covers 1.46 million square feet. It stands 10 stories tall with five stories below ground and five above.Two hundred eighty shops and restaurants circle the perimeter of the glass dome. There's a multiscreen Imax theater, a full-sized supermarket, and a hotel. In the middle of it all is the Rain Vortex. A cascading funnel of water drops seven stories through the core of the building.
Don't feel like walking? The skytrain weaves through the forest as well. And just because it's still an airport, there are early-check-in kiosks and counters. But you don't actually need an airplane ticket or to go through airport security to visit Jewel. Changi designed it this way to encourage Singapore residents to wander the forest trails as well. The airport expects to see 50 to 60 million visitors to Jewel this year.
