The Jewel Rain Vortex is undoubtedly the star of the Jewel Changi Airport. At 40 metres tall, with water falling down from the oculus in the roof to the basement, it is an impressive sight to behold. And when the sun goes down, the massive waterfall becomes the centrepiece of the Jewel Rain Vortex Light Show.
As Jewel Changi Airport enters its fifth year, it is commemorating its fifth anniversary with a brand-new Light & Music showcase at the Jewel Rain Vortex from 17 April 2024 onwards.
Jewel Rain Vortex Light and Sound Show: 5th Anniversary Edition “What A Feelin5”
Through a combination of light effects and sound, Jewel Changi Airport’s enormous indoor waterfall serves as the stunning focal point of the Jewel Rain Vortex light show.
It changes through a hue of mesmerising colours that simply enthral viewers.
The sound of music reverberates throughout Jewel Changi Airport, accompanying the dazzling display.
The brand-new fifth anniversary Light & Music showcase at Jewel Changi Airport is entitled “What A Feelin5”.
The new five-minute show is created by world renowned water feature designer WET and features unique elements of Jewel’s offerings, such as its iconic façade and lush floral and greenery, in a crescendo of uplifting tunes that celebrate the vibrancy of Jewel.
One of the best things about the Jewel Rain Vortex is that it occupies the centre of the complex. This means that there are many different vantage points around the complex to admire the Jewel Rain Vortex Light Show. If you manage to find the right seat at a restaurant, it also makes the perfect accompaniment to a meal.
