Recently, the "Da Yan Jing" (大眼京) Ferris wheel completed its main structural closure and is scheduled to open at the end of June. Located in Beijing Happy Valley amusement park, the wheel stands at 99 meters tall, with 46 cabins, and is now the tallest Ferris wheel in Beijing, offering riders a panoramic view of Beijing—pure joy from high above the city.

The entire wheel has a huge diameter of 90 meters and adopts a rare upside-down-Y-shaped structure as its core design, making it have a strikingly eye-catching appearance.

Its 46 ellipsoidal cabins can accommodate up to 460 passengers per ride, with each ride lasting approximately 20 minutes and 30 seconds. When reaching the peak, visitors can enjoy a 360-degree immersive panoramic view of the entire Happy Valley. Three cabin door designs are available: double-door, single-door, and customized VIP single-door, flexibly suiting different occasions. Each cabin is equipped with air conditioning and a fresh air system, maintaining a constant temperature of 21℃ and 25℃ and a comfortable humidity level of 40 percent to 70 percent. There are ten VIP customized cabins based on various themes such as birthdays, family outings, Super Vision and more, which can all be enjoyed as "mobile sky viewing cabins".

To mark its 20th anniversary, Beijing Happy Valley has launched new attractions and events, including the "Jungle Coaster" (丛林飞车) and "Poseidon Whirlpool" (海神漩涡), and the Guochao Trend Culture Festival (国潮文化节). The iconic 20th-anniversary parade floats have also been fully upgraded, bringing visitors an all-new immersive entertainment experience.

This summer, come and check it out!
