An Eden of One Thousand Gardens

Singapore lives up to its claim as the 'Garden City' from the moment one arrives in Changi Airport. The futuristic airport boasts six indoor and outdoor gardens, offering a green sanctuary for weary travelers. Every bit of space in the 13 square kilometer site is used effectively, so trees and flowers can thrive within the confinement of metal and glass.

The Garden City concept was coined by Singapore's first Prime Minister, Lee Kwan Yew, on May 11, 1967. His vision was to transform the country into an environmentally friendly living space with clean air, providing its citizens with a comfortable living environment.
