With its own rooftop sunflower garden, indoor water lily pond, and terraced Forest Valley at Jewel, Changi Airport lacks no green spaces – but we certainly won’t complain about another. Further proving its World’s Best Airport title, Singapore’s celebrated airport now also boasts a new bamboo grove inspired by none other than the famous one in Arashiyama, Kyoto. And in true record-setting Singapore fashion, this zen nature spot is the world’s first outdoor bamboo garden in an airport.

Boasting five types of bamboo trees, including the dark-stemmed black bamboo and the giant bamboo which can grow over 30 metres high, the scenic bamboo grove is the perfect place to calm your nerves or simply catch a breath of fresh air before a flight.

Unlike the cactus garden and butterfly garden which are only for passengers in transit, the Changi Airport’s bamboo garden is open to the public 24 hours a day – and no entry fees are required. Situated along the Changi Airport Connector, it’s not too far from Jurassic Mile and the Jurassic Bark dog run, and it’s also a good spot to get some steps in after a meal at Hub & Spoke Café.
