Canopy Park in the Evening @ Jewel Changi Airport [Singapore] #jewelchangiairport

After a few hours of fun at Jewel Changi Airport, we proceeded to The White Tiffin in Changi City Point (one mrt stop away) for early dinner and then returned back to Jewel Changi Airport to catch the bus back to Yishun.

But before then, let's check out Canopy Park again as the tickets allow us multiple entries on the same day and I thought it might be a different experience at night!

Note: it's not as if the sky had already turned dark but the lights illuminating the park were already switched on and some natural lights would allow better photo-taking given that I am a lousy photographer who sucks in photo-taking and didn't have a tripod.

Topiary Walk - a place filled with spots for photo-taking with fake animals like the above gigantic chameleon! Night time gave a eerie vibe and I think replacing the animals with replicas of ghosts around the world would give one a good scare during Halloween.

Colours would change; beauty of LED lights technology.

Adorable elephant fountain; easily the cutest animal in the entire Topiary Walk! It's hard to take a selfie with it, given its location right in the middle of the small pond.

Some of the impressive trees at Jewel Changi Airport; the first one is a ficus whereas the second one is an olive tree! No wonder it looked kind of familiar as I remember there seeing some back in Gardens by the Bay.

There was this area I missed in the daytime; an enclosed pond where a pair of mandarin ducks resided. Do you know that they are said to mate for life and is a symbol of everlasting marriage in the Chinese culture?

Is there something holding its wing to prevent the duck from escaping?

The structure remains as majestic at night! Known simply as Discovery Slides, this would be the place that kids would love and enjoy! Click here for some pictures.

Various holes for you take a plunge; note that some were closed due to COVID-19 safe management measures. A real pity as some visitors might complain that they are paying usual ticket prices and hence, should be able to enjoy the full array of activities.

View of the lit pathway along Canopy Park.

As mentioned here, peak of Discovery Slides is a perfect spot to catch the HSBC Rain Vortex; the world's tallest indoor waterfall.

Recorded quite a few time-lapsed videos to reflect the change in colours but each colour change took so long! "The Light & Sound Show is temporarily suspended until further notice".

See-through glass; about 6 meters in height.

There was a slide I failed to check out during the day and I immediately turned into a kid as my butt slid down the smooth surface. I should blog about the Admiralty Park Playground in Woodlands, which has a staggering 26 slides!

Don't these benches look like lanterns?!

Coming to the last of the Canopy Park; the Foggy Bowls. p.s. there's another section called Petal Garden but it was closed for upgrading work back when I visited in January. It should be opened by now though.

I find Foggy Bowls to be the most fascinating attraction within Canopy Park. Once activated, you would have clouds being dispersed from the middle of the 'bowls' and being you know it; it's all over you!

Like what happened to me!

It even lingered a while, forming a mystical layer floating mid-air! It's such a surreal experience and I almost feel like I was in a magical rainforest. p.s. I might not have felt the same if the whole place was filled with people.

Walking past the Manulife Sky Nets (Walking); if this was allowed for re-entry, I might have just popped in again to take more pictures.

Another photograph of HSBC Rain Vortex; can you spot the control tower that's right outside? From this photo, you would also have a better gauge of how close the Canopy Bridge is to the HSBC Rain Vortex.

Tempted to grab a beer at Tiger Street Lab, "Tiger Beer's first ever global experiential concept store showcasing an unexpected side of Singapore", on the same level but I resisted! A bit of regret honestly as I have never had Tiger Beer, despite it being a local brand.
