Harbin Ferris Wheel

The Harbin Ferris Wheel is a tall rotating structure that carries visitors in 63 cabins positioned around its frame at a height of 110 meters. The cabins move slowly, allowing passengers to see the city layout and surrounding areas as they rise and descend.

The wheel was completed in 2003 and represented a major addition to Harbin's modern skyline. Its construction reflected the city's growth and development during that period.

The wheel has become a gathering place where visitors pause to look out over the entire city and discuss what they see. People come here to experience Harbin from a perspective they cannot get from the ground.

Each full rotation takes about 20 minutes, and cabins accommodate up to six passengers comfortably. Visit early in the morning or late afternoon for a clearer view and fewer crowds.

The wheel operates reliably even during Harbin's extreme temperature swings, from hot summers to winters below minus 20 degrees Celsius (minus 4 Fahrenheit). This ability to function in such harsh conditions is a testament to its engineering.
