On September 6th, 2022 inside Harbin Ice and Snow World, installation of an important landscape engineering for the project of "Four-season Ice and Snow" - a 120m high 6-petaled snowflake ferris wheel was completed. Standing at the bank of Songhua River as the Eye of Harbin, this grandiose ferris wheel is expected to go into operation on December 23 of 2022, on the same opening date of the 24th Harbin Ice and Snow World.
The giant ferris wheel is as high as a 42-storey residential building. It adopts a full spoke structural form. It equips 48 10-seated cabins, of which, there are 24 cabins with luxurious interior trim, 4 cabins with a commercial theme, 6 cabins with a theme of parent-child, 6 cabins with a love theme, 8 cabins with a KTV theme. Among those 24 cabins with luxurious interior trim, 6 cabins with a transparent glass bottom are specially provided to enable travellers to enjoy both superexcellent vision and the unique romance of ferris wheel.
Different from traditional ferris wheel, a control system for colourful LED point light source is installed on spokes of snowflake ferris wheel and the outer ring of wheel, which is able to highlight the unique snowflake image of Harbin with Ice and Snow characteristics in Harbin in light.
Snowflake Ferris Wheel is a new landmark in Harbin and has become one of the major and most easily recognisable landmarks of the city. Visitors can ride on the wheel to have a commanding view of the fantastic Ice & Snow World and the landscape on both side of the Songhua River. It is a must-see on your Harbin Ice Festival tour.
