Why not drop the heavy lugage here and explore Jewel...

My first impression when strolling inside the Jewel was I'm at two places at one time: The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay. Here are the reasons...

Majectic Waterfall and lush vertical vegetation.

Gardens by the bay especially at Cloud Forest because of the misty Cloud Forest Waterfall looks quite similar to Forest Valley in Jewel. For your info, 40m high Rain Vortex with gorgeous light show when the sky turns dark is now crowned as the tallest indoor waterfall in the world, after 30m tall misty Cloud Forest Waterfall at Gardens by the bay stepped down to the second place.

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is a shopping mall which also has a smaller Rain Vortex. However, The Shoppes housing mostly Luxury Brands, while Jewel has more pocket-friendly shops. For me, most of the time it's just window shopping at The Shoppes, while here I can shop without feeling quilty.

I highly recommend The Canopy Park as it is a theraupatic place 
to relax before boarding confined planes.

Delightful meals of either delectable local food or 
unique cuisines are ready to pamper your stomach.

For those passengers with time-constraint, please check the queueing time until the food is served. This is to make sure that you don't miss your flight as it might takes up to 2 hours especially those popular restaurants or stores with insane queues.

Do expect long queues and waiting time for popular shop and restaurants.

We spent about one hour waiting at Hong Kong's Michelin-starred Kam's Roast Restaurant and another 45 minutes to get 3 cups of Bubble tea.

Ok, do visit Jewel if you're in Singapore and snap photos with new iconic Rain Vortex and share your experiences with us.

For now, I just imagine me with smiling face holding a passport with ticket to San-Jose, walking to Early Check-in Counter to drop my luggage and ready to attend Connect Live with Local Guides around the world~!^^
