Bay Glory, Cantilevered observation wheel in Qianhai Bay, Shenzhen, China

Bay Glory is a cantilevered observation wheel at Qianhai Bay in Shenzhen, China, with an overall height of 128 metres and a wheel diameter of 113.3 metres. Its 28 enclosed gondolas each have a net floor area of 16.8 square metres and hold up to 25 passengers, who look out over Qianhai Bay and the Lingdingyang estuary of the Pearl River.

The wheel opened in 2021 as part of a broader effort to reshape Shenzhen's waterfront into a destination for leisure. It was built in an area that had previously seen little recreational development.

The Ferris wheel serves as a gathering place where visitors and locals experience the city from a new vantage point. It reflects how Shenzhen has transformed recreational spaces into central attractions for its growing population.

The wheel is easy to reach by metro, with signs guiding visitors from the nearest station to the entrance. A full rotation takes several minutes, so there is no need to rush once you are inside a gondola.

The wheel's 28 gondolas each have a net floor area of 16.8 square metres and hold up to 25 passengers, so a single cabin can carry a large group. From the top, riders look out over Qianhai Bay and the Lingdingyang stretch of the Pearl River estuary.
