The main highlight of the Jewel Changi Airport that greets you the moment you enter the 100,000 square-meter complex. This 40 meters high waterfall is now the world’s tallest indoor waterfall and it makes the perfect backdrop for your OOTDs. By day, you’ll be mesmerised by the sun rays that catches the spray. By night, you’ll be stunned by the light-and-sound show that is projected onto the sheet of water. Either way, the HSBC Rain Vortex is one of the best spots for a spectacular OOTD shot.

This attraction surrounds the HSBC Rain Vortex and is home to more than 900 trees and palms and about 60,000 shrubs. In the day, you can admire the landscape as its bathed in the natural sunlight and the mist from the indoor waterfall, giving you the mysterious vibes.

You might have to hunt around for it but we’re sure it’ll be easy, given that bamboo trees are rather different from the other tree variants.

If you’re taking the train to Jewel, you’ll have to alight at the Changi Airport stop, enter Terminal 3 and walk toward Jewel via the Link Bridge. Just a word of caution, this is an extremely long link bridge but, fortunately for us all, it is also an excellent photo spot for your OOTD shot! Lined with long travelators that serve as excellent backdrops and long glass windows that give you the perfect natural light for your photos, this (technically) your first go-to spot when you reach Changi. With the right lighting and editing, your photo can look not only futuristic but also, depthful!

From Cloud9 Piazza, which is also the highest level in Jewel, you can not only get a breath-taking bird’s eye view of the Shiseido Forest Valley, but also a whole new angle of the HSBC Rain Vortex. Together with the detailed design of the roof, which has large window panes for sunlight to shine through, this open space allows you to experiment with shadow play, giving your photos extravagant vibes from the eccentric but interesting geometric shapes. The designers of Jewel clearly thought it through because even the tiles on the floor are similarly shaped to the roof so that your OOTD shot can be geometrically perfect!
Psst, for our camera enthusiasts, the Cloud9 Piazza is also a great spot for capturing wide-angle shots of the magnificence of Jewel!

A clever mix of both artsy sculptures and a children’s playground, the Discover Slides at the Canopy Park is another must-go spot for your OOTD shots.
