Terminal 21 is a sprawling megamall featuring nine floors and more than 600 retail outlets. The mall features a round-the-world theme, with each level inspired by an iconic global city. From street level, the mall is easily recognisable by its curved glass-and-steel facade.

The basement is designed to look like an international airport. As you move up the levels, you can shop for colourful souvenirs in Tokyo, stroll along Carnaby Street in London and browse traditional Turkish bazaars in Istanbul. Rome is a paradise for fashionistas and houses international brands, such as Lacoste and Levi's.

In Paris, the Champs-Élysées area is also lined with luxury brands. San Francisco features a recreated version of Fisherman’s Wharf filled with food outlets selling everything from tom yum soup and mango-sticky rice to burgers and pizza. There's also a fantastic food court on the 5th floor, while the enormous Cineplex complex screens the latest blockbusters.
