The primary attraction of the Jewel is the construction of the Rain Vortex: a 131-foot indoor waterfall which is reputed to be the tallest indoor waterfall in the entire world. The waterfall will be located within a garden known as the Forest Valley and there will be a bridge, known as the Canopy Bridge, which is suspended above ground in order to provide the best view of the Rain Vortex.
