Ferris Wheel Singapore Flyer
The giant ferris wheel located in Singapore is open at 2008 At that time, it immediately attracted widespread attention, so as it was the tallest wheel in the world. Imagine it is tall with 55-storey house! It is 165 meters. 5 meters higher than “Star Nanchang “in China, and 30 meters above the Ferris wheel” London eye”.
Until 2014, it remained the highest until Las Vegas did not start the wheel with a new record height of 168 meters And then a few more countries continued the competition on the biggest wheel in the world. But I think that the Ferris wheel in Singapore, you will like it anyway.

There are some interesting facts about the Singapore Flyer. It is noteworthy that the wheel rotates clockwise, whereas most of these structures around the world rotates counterclockwise. It is believed that when rotating clockwise, the wheel attracts to the city wealth and good fortune. And not without the magic of numbers. The wheel has 28 booths, each of which can hold 28 man, and the wheel makes a complete turn in 28 minutes.
Of course, the number 8 is not just here. Naturally here Feng Shui is mixed up again. It is believed that the number 8 brings good luck, so the wheel, like the whole city, was built in compliance with the Chinese philosophy. Well, nothing in Singapore is being done just like that! Maybe that’s why Singapore is so cozy, comfortable, modern and very developed.
Under the wheel, at its base, there are cafes and shops, even there is a mini-garden with a river, a grotto and a waterfall. In the river live feedable fish if you drop a coin in a special machine.
By purchasing a ticket at the ticket office, you walk upstairs to the room for the gate. The room itself is small and decorated very peculiar. Some kind of cosmic and incomprehensible. Inside it is dark, but the highlight of the walls is like being in a spaceship. Passing through the landing room, we lingered at strange technogenic structures in the form of a ball, nameplates This work is not found.
