The photo above is that of a Koi (Japanese carp). This one is a Goromo - one of the many different varieties of Koi . One of my first and certainly not my last.

Koi Pond at Changi Airport – Fern Garden

There is actually 2 Koi ponds at Changi Airport Terminal 2 Transit Hall, Departure Level 2.  In my earlier post, I wrote about the Koi pond at the Orchid Garden. You will find this pond if you turn right after you passed through departure immigration/passport checks and enter the Transit area.

If you turn left after the going through departure immigration, you will find another interesting Koi pond that is surrounded by numerous ferns and forms the center piece of the Fern Garden. You can see a wide variety of ferns ranging from the majestic Dicksonia tree ferns to the common bird nest ferns and small, unusual epiphytic ferns. You get the feeling of being in a rainforest, although you are actually in the middle of a busy airport transit hall!

For those new to Koi, signs describing the varieties of Koi as well as signs explaining the varieties of ferns are available. This is a good place to relax, unwind and learn a few things about ferns and the Koi, while waiting for your next flight.
