The world's largest spokeless Ferris Wheel officially opened to the public today.

The £17.4 million futuristic structure in eastern China comes with 36 carts, each of which is able to carry eight to 10 passengers and equipped with Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and a TV set.

Standing 145 metres (475 feet) tall with a completely hollow centre, the incredible attraction is 10 metres (32 feet) taller than the iconic, cantilevered 'London Eye' in the British capital.

Wow

Nice...

You expect an African man to enter that?

China, a clear example of a nation determined to set the standards...

That could have been Nigeria, but . . .

This is damn large

Wonderful

IT'S STILL CHINKOH..
MADE IN CHINA

Way to go, China - a country that knows how to invest its money wisely. China has a huge population with lots of disposable income to throw around. Shandong being a coastal and beautiful Province; with a teeming population is poised to rake in millions of Yuan from tourists. Nigeria, where art thou?

see country
naija which way
It Exporer again

How I wished� I could exchange my citizenship with any developed country. People's Republic of China boasts of 100000+km railway lines compared to my dear country still battling with 3000+. I normally wonder when I see some ignoramus individuals shouting "Made in China". At least the country has something worthy of showing and selling internationally. Meanwhile, this is a country where her citizens enjoy social security and welfare etc. We too we can be great if we re orientate ourselves about the need to move Nigeria forward.
God bless Nigeria and her citizens. .

Wow

I'm not surprised. When u go to Chinese trade fair and see prototypes of technology they display you'd cry all the way down to Nigeria
