Friends from afar often ask about the Shenzhen Bay Area Light Ferris Wheel, which is not far from this homestay

The Shenzhen 'Bay Area Light' Ferris Wheel, along with the Las Vegas 'High Roller' Ferris Wheel, the Singapore 'Flyer' Ferris Wheel, and the UK 'London Eye' Ferris Wheel, make up the world's four major all-day scenic rotation Ferris wheels with large cabins. The tallest Ferris Wheel in Shenzhen, the 'Bay Area Light' Ferris Wheel, is located in the OCT Harbour Happy Bay of Bao'an District, Shenzhen. It features a world-first fin-shaped unique large frame and the world's most advanced design and construction technology. The all-day scenic cabins with 360° transparent glass are renowned globally for offering panoramic views of the stunning scenery outside! Since the first pillar of the 'Bay Area Light' Ferris Wheel was successfully installed in October 2019, the construction team has overcome numerous challenges, from the smooth installation of the pillars, the tower head, the central main shaft, to the zero-error assembly of the main body, and the installation and commissioning of all 28 cabins. The team has fully demonstrated Shenzhen's speed and quality, ultimately presenting the Ferris Wheel perfectly to the world. With a total height of 128 meters, it has 28 panoramic cabins resembling space capsules, each spacious at 16.8 square meters and able to accommodate 25 people. Thus, this 28-minute journey can be turned into a unique airborne party. The 'Bay Area Light' Ferris Wheel takes about 27 to 30 minutes to rotate once. During this average 28-minute rotation, thanks to the ultra-stable servo system, the cabins remain steady and level, without the tension and occasional dizziness felt when riding a cable car. With such a stable experience, even at the highest point of the Ferris Wheel at 128 meters, everyone can safely enjoy the view without worrying about the cabin swaying if people crowd to one side. Taking group photos, posing with props, cutting cakes, playing poker, chess, or holding a meeting in the sky are all no problem. I often ride a shared bicycle for fitness after dinner, cycling along the coastal Baoyuan Road from the homestay for about 6-8 kilometers, taking roughly half an hour. Just when I start to sweat a little, I've already arrived at Happy Bay. In summer, there are even more visitors at night than during the day, and they usually stay until 10 pm before gradually dispersing. The Ferris Wheel operates from 10:30 to 22:00 on weekdays and from 10:30 to 22:30 on weekends and holidays. The ticket price is 150 yuan per person on weekdays and weekends, and 180 yuan per person during statutory holidays. Around the Ferris Wheel, you can see many young people's fashionable gatherings, wedding photography, etc. Tourists from all over can enjoy different needs for food, drink, and fun nearby. At the same time, places like OCT Harbour Happy Bay, renowned at home and abroad, are also suitable for friends from other places staying in seaside homestays in Bao'an, Shenzhen, to take their time exploring with children and elderly parents...
