Upon his arrival, dozens of people waving British flags welcomed him with loud cheers.
William, 41, shook hands, signed autographs and sportingly took selfies with many of them during a walkabout.
And young tot Albane took a shine to the prince as he grabbed Will's finger before putting it in his mouth as fans watched on.
Before greeting the crowd, William stood on an upper floor for a stunning view of the 40-meter high Rain Vortex, the worlds largest indoor waterfall that was illuminated green to mark his arrival.

In a personal post on X, William said: "Hello Singapore It's fantastic to be back in Singapore for this year's Earthshot Prize ceremony, after eleven years.
"Singapore's bold vision to be a leader for environmental innovation sets the standard for others to follow.
"I am grateful to the Singaporean people for hosting us this week.
"Let us all take inspiration from the fantastic work being done here as we celebrate this year's Earthshot Prize finalists. W".
Five winners will be named at an award ceremony on Tuesday.
Each will get a million pounds ($1.2 million) to help them scale up their projects for wider global reach.
Fifteen finalists representing six continents were selected from 1,300 nominees this year. The winners are from five categories: nature protection, clean air, ocean revival, waste elimination and climate change.
William will address the star-studded ceremony, to be hosted by English actress Hannah Waddingham. Renowned wildlife conservationist Robert Irwing and celebrities including Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett and actresses Lana Condor and Nomzamo Mbatha, are expected to attend the event.
The prince will also take part in dragon boating, meet Singaporeans to learn how they are working locally to protect the planet, and attend a United for Wildlife summit, aimed at tackling the illegal trade in animal parts.
It comes after Harry and Meghan's biographer Omid Scobie accused The King of being "unpopular".
The author also alleges Prince William is "power hungry" and Queen Camilla is "willing to go to dangerous lengths to preserve her image.
And Prince Harry was "forced to start a new life" after being "betrayed by his own family", Scobie claims.
The attacks feature in advertising material for 'Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival'.

A publishing source told the the 416-page book will contain "bombshell after bombshell".
Scobie claims to have interviewed "current and former Palace staff" for the book, due out November 21.
