So like this, Changi Airport in this year became the most frequent airport I visited. Whether it's for a visit to Singapore or a layover at Changi to continue with an advanced flight. Since the first time to Changi Airport around the year 2012, I've back and forth me to this airport, to rada memorized the corners.

Oia, at Changi Airport I already feel a lot of things, from staying at the airport, missed the plane, feeling jogging to catch the plane to enjoy the cinema show inside the terminal. Concerning the services and facilities, Changi Airport could be the airport with the highest standards in Southeast Asia (it could be in the world!). So the passengers and visitors of the airport are really pampered with all the service facilities.

With all these amenities it is no wonder Changi Airport can be the main connecting airport in Southeast Asia. Many airlines make this airline a transit from and to its destination. Of course with all sorts of facilities there that Changi Airport can be a convenient place for transit.

Ever had a long transit at Changi Airport? Usually doing? Actually if the transit is more than four hours can join the city tour. But if it may be too tired or lazy to go around the city, can still stay standby at the airport because there is so much to do. Terminal 1-3 Changi Airport is connected between terminals so it can travel around without having to get out of immigration.

Ngomongin facility? There are many! Free cinema, bejibun restaurant, attractions there, wifi fast, coffee shop there are many, also if you want to shopping there are also hundreds of tenants in the terminal, want to souvenir shopping? Alternatively, there are souvenir shops like Taste Singapore and The Cocoa Trees inside the transit terminal. Anyway satisfied as much as possible if you want mengeskplorasi airport when transit.

Well, if I myself prefer to go around in the parks within the airport. Wait? Garden? Yes! Inside Changi Airport there are many parks that can be accessed by visitors and passengers. The parks are parks open to the public, so while waiting for the plane, visitors and passengers can leyeh-leyeh enjoy the fresh air.

The gardens at Changi Airport may indeed be put as a place of recreation. Management may think how to make the visitors and passengers who are in transit not bored or saturated. Therefore built parks in all terminals. The parks are thematic and located in many corners, so the visitors are easy to access from anywhere. Here are some of the parks at Changi Airport, my search results and what I visited during layover.

Terminal 1

If there are a number of thematic parks in Terminal 1, these gardens incorporate artistic artistic installations with shade plants, so natural and artistic impressed. If you enter Terminal 1 from departure or when you get off the plane, the center of the crowds of Terminal 1 is in the center, in the main hall.

In this roomy hall there is a small garden that plants and flowers are changed regularly in accordance with the theme, so it looks can change each month. Among the gardens is The Social Tree, this is a kind of interactive game engine where visitors can play games with other visitors. In The Social Tree there are screens to display his games also display the score. Called The Social Tree because by playing here, can get acquainted with other players, socialize and spend time together.

If you are satisfied playing in The Social Tree, then can hang out in thematic parks in Terminal 1. In total there are 3 parks scattered in the corners of the terminal. For those who like artistic things can visit Sculptural Tree Garden. This park is a blend of art installations, the shape of a gigantic and circular tree, equipped with a staircase encircling the installation. So visitors can walk around this art installation. Plants that exist in this place is a vine that follows the contour of the installation.

For me who spent quite a long time here, the advantages of this garden is lesehan, provided some big pillows for leyeh-leyeh visitors. Oia I forgot, there are some horse statues on display in this park and beautify this garden with an artistic impression.

Next there is Water Lily Garden or Lotus Garden. This is the greenest park in Terminal 1, when I entered I was stunned by the concept of this park. How can ya in the building full of Terminal 1 there can be a lotus garden with a pool and gurgling water. Lucky fitting there Teratainya flowering, so can enjoy the atmosphere full of lotus, taste-I think I forgot that being at the airport, remember it like in a park that is very spacious.

Lastly there is the most extensive garden in Terminal 1, Cactus Garden, as the name implies its content is merely cactus. Because the cactus habitat to follow the park is located in the rooftop, so can see while passing the plane and enjoy the fresh breeze. The garden is spacious and without a roof, open just like that, there is a roof only on some parts for seating. It was like being here in the wilderness of America with its big cactus.

Terminal 2

The main park in Terminal 2 is the Enchanted Garden. This park is in the middle, if coming from the immigration must meet the park directly. The shape of the garden is elongated and with a variety of tropical plants, the arrangement is very similar to the forest. There is also a small pond and wooden bridge between the pools. The visitors are many who like this park because it can explore, can break in between the trees even sleeping here. Many also took pictures in the middle of the park. Who would have thought in the middle of the terminal building there is this kind of park?

Not far from this park there is Orchid Garden or Orchid Garden. As the name implies the contents of this park are all orchids. The colors of the orchids are beautiful. The size of the plant varied, there are very high but also there is a tiny orchid. This is the most colorful park in Terminal 2.

Next there is a favorite park in Terminal 2, Sunflower Garden or Sunflower Park. This is a squeezed garden at this terminal. Imagine there are 500 sunflowers blooming at the airport, an antimainstream thing. Its location is on the 2nd floor, not far from the free cinema. There is a glass door that accesses to the garden section.

Sunflowers bloom with joy and yellow color becomes the main color of this park. The garden is very neatly arranged, the soil layer is left just like that and become a place of growing sunflower. The pattern of the park is made like a hallway, visitors can walk on the sidelines of the sunflower.

At the time I visited, many visitors are photographed here. This park is indeed photogenic and invites visitors to stop by taking pictures.

Terminal 3

In Terminal 3 there is also a park and perhaps also the most epic among all terminals. If from Indonesia and landed in Terminal 3 do not go out of the airport, can kok to the parks. Or if the old transit in another terminal can slide to terminal 3 with Skytrain.

The first park is the Crystal Garden. This is in the main hall, very spacious garden and a welcome area in Terminal 3. Named Crystal Garden because this park is a garden with colorful chandeliers that blend with the flowers. The lights themselves are flower-shaped, brilliantly illuminating the light.

The arrangement is not fixed in one place, the location of this park is in the main hall but the chandelier lights are then separated back into several points. Due to its location in the main crowded venue, the park is always full of visitors.

Next there is my favorite park among all the parks at Changi Airport, Butterfly Garden or Butterfly Garden. Already this is the culmination of Changi Airport's astonishment, in the middle of a crowded airport with millions of visitors suddenly there is a green garden complete with butterflies that fly freely in the park. Already? Not yet! The park is two floors high, connected between the first floor and second floor, can be accessed from each floor, there is a ladder in the garden.

The most fascinating thing is that there is a cave of waterfall artificial as high as 6 meters in the garden Butterfly. I do not know I'm confused to reveal the beauty of this park. In addition to artificial waterfalls there are also rock-like cliffs. Also tall palm trees soaring and lush trees in the garden.

Anyway this favorite park in the entire airport, can be sightseeing also sit around enjoying the fresh air. The roof was high so the air was cold, the water rushing also added shade and calm, waiting for the plane must be very comfortable and relaxed while being here.

Children are also comfortable to be here, can go around the park, see the Butterfly that fly freely. Oia there are a lot of Butterflies, some are flying freely, some are still silent. But obviously this park is very interesting to visit, as if eliminating the impression of the airport is a boring place. From this park visitors can feel that Changi Airport is a very convenient and friendly airport.
