Exploring Chaoyang Park Ferris Wheel, the Colossal Attraction That Never Was | the Beijinger

Exploring Chaoyang Park Ferris Wheel, the Colossal Attraction That Never Was | the Beijinger: Have you visited the largest Ferris wheel in the world? At a record-breaking 208 meters (682ft), it dwarves the High Roller in Las Vegas by 50 meters. It features 48 air-conditioned capsules holding up to 40 people each, a memorable location for weddings and business meetings offering views of the western mountains, and even the Great Wall on a clear day. All of this a stone’s throw from Beijing’s CBD. Or at least it would have been had it ever gotten off the ground.
