Singapore’s Changi Airport Opens Bamboo Grove
According to Travel Trade Journal, it’s the first time an airport has introduced a bamboo garden within its premises, and it is called Bamboo Grove. Spanning 526 square metres, this new garden is perfect for a calm and refreshing break between flights. This new addition to the airport is inspired by the world-famous Arashiyama Bamboo Grove in Kyoto, Japan. In this garden, you’ll find a variety of bamboo species from across Asia. It has varieties like Giant Bamboo, Black Bamboo, Buddha Bamboo, Monastery Bamboo, and Sacred Bali Bamboo.
At this garden, you will get to see tall bamboo plants and stone walkways covered with greenery on all sides. To rest or to simply enjoy the surroundings, it has peaceful seating areas. It is one of the busiest airports, and it can now also be a hub to take photographs, breathe fresh air, and enjoy nature.
