Changi Airport and Jewel Changi Airport are ushering in the Year of the Horse with a vibrant line-up of festive installations, enhanced passenger services and celebratory experiences designed to delight travellers and visitors alike.
From mythical animatronic horses and stunning floral displays to exclusive shopping perks and the first-ever Lunar New Year bazaar at Jewel, the airport precinct is transforming into a festive playground filled with colour, culture and prosperity-themed cheer.
Mythical Horses and Blooming Landscapes Take Centre Stage
At Jewel’s Forest Valley, a pair of mythical animatronic horses headline the celebrations in honour of the 2026 zodiac. Framed by an elegant floral arch, the lifelike horses move in harmony with kinetic floral elements, creating a dynamic centrepiece that blends technology and tradition. The display runs until 3 March 2026.
Over at the Petal Garden in Jewel’s Canopy Park (Level 5), visitors can stroll through a picturesque spring landscape filled with blooming cherry blossoms and vibrant seasonal flowers.
Travellers can also unlock exclusive perks at Jewel, including S$88 off or 8% savings on STARLUX Airlines flights to Taiwan. Redemption is simple: scan the QR codes on greeting cards tucked among Kumquat plants at Jewel’s Level 2 main entrance and the Level 3 link bridges to Terminals 2 and 3.
Across Changi Airport Terminals 1, 2 and 3, 10 locations will showcase striking Fire Horse sculptures and elaborate horticultural displays from 5 February to 2 March 2026. Featuring motifs of gold ingots and Chinese coins, the installations symbolise strength, vitality and prosperity.
