Jewel Changi Airport is a mixed-use complex of gardens, attractions, shops, restaurants and a hotel at Changi Airport, in the Changi planning area. A partnership between Changi Airport Group and CapitaLand, it opened to the public on 17 April 2019 and was officially opened on 18 October 2019. A consortium led by Moshe Safdie's practice designed the building, which covers about 135,700 square metres under a glass and steel dome.

The centrepiece is the HSBC Rain Vortex, which Jewel describes as the world's tallest indoor waterfall. Water falls 40 metres through an opening in the roof and drops seven storeys to the basement. The waterfall runs daily from 10am to 10pm, with a light and music show at 8pm and 9pm and an extra 10pm show from Friday to Sunday, on public holidays and on the eves of public holidays. Terraced planting called the Shiseido Forest Valley surrounds it, and Canopy Park holds attractions such as the Bouncing Net and Walking Net.

Jewel is open 24 hours, and most shops trade from 10am to 10pm. Terminal 1's arrival hall connects directly, while link bridges on level 2 of Terminals 2 and 3 take five to ten minutes on foot. Changi Airport MRT station (CG2) is the nearest train stop, so travellers leaving for Kathmandu or Paro can walk over before check-in.
