The world's "highest Ferris wheel" is to open to the public today (September 1, 2011) in China, which is situated on top of a 1,480ft tower, built on the 450-meter-high Guangzhou TV Tower.
The wheel consists of 16 pods which can hold a total of 96 passengers--as long as you are brave enough. The 16 transparent pods will need 20 and 40 minutes to go round the track. Each capsule is just over three-meter wide, built with special macromolecule material allowing a 360-degree crystal clear view.
At 19:00 to 23:00 from September 12 to 13, there will hold an "appreciating the moon from the capsule", five times each night, you can stay in the crystal capsule and enjoy a panorama of Guangzhou City while appreciating the moon. Sounds great, right? By the way, traditional Chinese festival--the
Mid Autumn Festival falls on September 12, which is the best time for reunion and moon-appreciating. Go there with your family and have a dinner on the particularly prepared table at the side of the river, cool.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the price of the ferris wheel is 130 RMB/person. Want to have a try?
