Tianjin Eye
Hongqiao, Tianjin
The ferris wheel built on a bridge over the Hai River - a 120-meter rotation above old Tianjin.
The Tianjin Eye is the only ferris wheel in the world mounted on a bridge: a 120-meter ring over the Hai River, its capsules rising to a panorama of old concessions and new skyline. At night the wheel glows and the river reflects it.
A full rotation takes half an hour - enough for a sunset and dusk in one ride. Book the capsule with the glass floor if you want the extra shiver.
Best for: Old Tianjin and new, from 120 meters over the river.
