It’s an artificial waterfall, but it’s a beautiful one nonetheless. Located at Ginger Garden, this waterfall is situated right next to a cave, so you can actually admire it from under the cave itself. While you’re standing there, have someone snap some pictures from opposite — it’ll give you a lovely photo with the waterfall right smack in the center of your frame. While you’re there, you might as well tour the Ginger Garden, a home to over 250 species of gingers.

It’s not quite your typical waterfall, but it is amazing to look at. The Rain Vortex sits in the heart of Jewel, with water gushing down from the glass ceiling, flowing 40 meters all the way to the basement. It’s really mesmerizing to watch, especially in the day when the sunlight catches the spray. If you’re visiting the mall at night, you might even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of their light-and-sound show happening at the vortex.

You might not have heard of this place, but Yunnan Garden at the National Technological University (NTU) is actually a lovely heritage park with over 80 different plant species. Within the park they’ve built a 5.6-metre man-made waterfall that flows down Nanyang Lake. The view is magnificent, and it even makes you feel like you’re in a legitimate nature park somewhere overseas. Yunnan Garden is a great spot to visit on weekends if you want some quiet time to enjoy nature.

Another waterfall-like structure located within a mall (Marina Bay Sands), the Rain Oculus is a 70-foot diameter acrylic bowl that falls two stories to a pool below. The bowl is turned on and off a few times an hour so that the whirlpool is always changing in shape and intensity. For the best view, stand at the bottom of this gorgeous structure to watch the whirlpool work its magic.

Besides the indoor waterfall at Cloud Forest, Gardens By The Bay also has an outdoor waterfall. It’s located at Serene Garden, a unique horticultural garden that’s inspired by the minimalist concept of Japanese gardens. It’s the perfect place to visit if you’re looking for a bit of peace and tranquility, and the waterfall within the area flows downwards through a collection of vibrantly-colored rocks. These huge rocks are actually from Niyodo, Japan, and their beautiful colors are completely natural.

From huge playgrounds to even a hedge maze, there is much to do here and that your children will feel completely engaged. In the midst of the garden is a cave and waterfall, where the kids can stop and admire it for a bit. Of course, they can also step into the cave if they desire!

The Fountain Of Wealth has been around for decades, and is situated right at the heart of Suntec City. It’s a symbol of wealth and life, and you can soak its positive “qi” energy by walking around the fountain three times in a clockwise direction. As you do so, stretch your right hand out over the water, and make a wish along the way if there’s anything you desire. If you simply want to admire the fountain from afar, it’s visible even within the shopping center itself.
Fountain Of Wealth, 3 Temasek Blvd, Singapore 038983, +65 6822 1537, www.sunteccity.com.sg
The Dining Room at Sheraton Towers allows you the luxury of admiring a beautiful waterfall while enjoying a lavish meal. Doesn't that sound lovely? As you indulge in a hearty spread inside, soak in the wondrous view of lush greenery and water cascading down the waterfall just outside. The whole experience is also made better with their floor-to-ceiling glass walls, so if you're bringing the kids along, they'll definitely be in awe of the view as well. There’s nothing better than a spectacular view when you’re slowly enjoying your meal, right?
