        "summary": "Singapore's Changi Airport maintains its status as one of the world's most beautiful and efficient airports by importing chrysalises every two to three weeks from selected farms to stock its pioneering butterfly garden. This indoor tropical ecosystem features over 1,000 free-flying butterflies, a 6-metre artificial waterfall, and educational displays on metamorphosis, offering passengers a unique transit experience. The garden also houses Singapore's national butterfly, the Common Rose, symbolising national pride through its wing patterns resembling the country's flag.",
        "content": "<p>Singapore has Changi Airport, which consistently wins awards as the\nworld\u2019s most beautiful and efficient airport. Not only that, to pamper\narriving travellers and tourists, Changi Airport even imports\nchrysalises from selected farms. This was revealed in a recent BBC\nreport highlighting various aspects behind the secrets of Changi\u2019s\nfrequent victories in airport surveys. Besides prioritising efficiency,\nChangi also greatly pampers every traveller who arrives or even just\ntransits there. Travellers can enjoy tropical gardens, gyms,\ntrampolines, and even swimming pools. Changi also features the world\u2019s\nfirst butterfly garden inside an airport. This concept was created to\nprovide a transit experience far removed from the usual airport\natmosphere. In this garden, passengers can see more than 1,000\nfree-flying tropical butterflies, complete with a 6-metre artificial\nwaterfall and an educational area on the metamorphosis process. Thus, it\nis not merely decoration, but a mini living ecosystem in the midst of\nthe terminal. To fill the garden, Changi must import chrysalises every\ntwo to three weeks from specially selected farms to ensure a sustainable\nsupply of butterflies. According to Changi\u2019s official website, the\ngarden also serves as a home for Singapore\u2019s national butterfly, which\nis not widely known. The Common Rose butterfly, scientifically known as\nPachliopta aristolochiae asteris, was designated as Singapore\u2019s national\nbutterfly by the Nature Society of Singapore in 2015. This butterfly has\nred spots and white lines on its wings, reminiscent of the five stars\nand crescent moon on Singapore\u2019s flag.<\/p>",
