Ferris wheels, first seen in the Ottoman Empire in the 18th century, have become an indispensable architectural feature in urban environments around the world. They also represent a country’s level of engineering and construction, prompting nations to continuously build taller and larger wheels to break records, both to increase tourism resources and topics of discussion, and to enhance a nation's achievements and honor in architecture. The following five famous Asian Ferris wheels show why they are astonishing and renowned worldwide.
● Singapore Flyer
The Singapore Flyer, located in Singapore since 2008, stands at a height of 165 meters and is one of the world’s largest Ferris wheels. Before 2014, it was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. The Singapore Flyer consists of 28 capsules, each capable of holding 28 passengers. During the half-hour ride, passengers can admire the surrounding unique scenery and enjoy a meal in the sky.
