A new 99-metre-high ferris wheel has emerged near the pleasant valley in beijing, and many people's first reaction is that there is already a ferris wheel in beijing. Isn't that the one that is still there
At dusk, the ship's cutter looks
This is not a question of “one more skyboat”, but rather of beijing, where there has been no high-altitude skyboat that meets modern operating standards throughout the season。
Seven percent of the tourists have been calling for years
In an interview with wang tao, chief engineer of pleasant valley, a key figure was revealed: a region-upgrading study is conducted every three years, and in successive studies up to 70 per cent of tourists have identified the “new ferris wheel” as the most expected park project。
This number is quite unusual in the subject park industry. While the main hit-and-run product of the valley is an incentive such as a roller coaster and a jumper, what tourists want most is a “slow viewing” facility. The logic behind this is — the absence of a family scene。
Families with children, elderly people and couples who do not want to cross the hill, lack a high-altitude project in the park that is participatory and not too stimulating。
The only major cruise ship in beijing before, however, was at the rockscape landing park, where there were problems of small loads, inert temperature configurations, and weak night-trip experience. Sitting on them in the winter, shaking, and in the summer tanning, is essentially a “food for the sky”. Beijing is completely out of market space on a 99-metre-scale large family cruise。
So the logic of the birth of big eye kyoto is clear — not as a flowering landscape, but as a gap in the demand for tourists that has been tested for many years。
It's less than six months away from beijing speed
The construction schedule for the ferris wheel is alarming: it officially began in the winter of 2025 and became operational on 27 june 2026, with a construction cycle of less than six months。
A 99-metre-high, 46 carriages and 276 encrypted wheels were capable of drying and delivering over a six-month period from the ground base, relying on 24-hour shifts by the construction team。
There is also a key fit for the project — the introduction of a “human” floor and a pure strip-forming programme, which saves more park space than the conventional skyline, which is a necessary compromise for building large equipment within the limited space available within the thematic park。
It is worth noting in detail that the skyline strip was encrypted to 276 pieces, covering over 6,000 square metres of led point light. The real purpose of this design is not to look good in the day, but to prepare for night operations — the ferris wheel will become a giant “city screen” at night, moving the mercade commercial complex beneath its feet, linking the three scenes of pleasure, consumption and night economy。
What's so special about this rock view
The difference is clear if the stock of the “big eye” and the stoneview playground are combined:
From the play facilities to the city's new landmarks, on what basis
The name "big eye" itself hides its location. The official explanation is that the “big eye” corresponds to the shape of elliptical wheels and cars, plus the view of the city at 99 metres above the surface, as if it were a twin city view in the south-east of the city; the word “kyoyo” directly anchors the city's top skyboats in beijing。
The official statement of happy valley confirms this: they want to transform the ferris wheel from a traditional recreational facility into a public urban recreational space carrying the daily leisure needs of local citizens, where multiple scenes, such as parenthood, tide play, socialization, night economy and so on, can coexist。
At the operational level, the galactic square, beneath the foot of the ferris wheel, simultaneously introduced commercial complexes, fragrance collection shops, creative shops, day and night wine industry, and the light show at the ferry wheels is planned to be regularized. This means that tourists coming on a ferris wheel is not a stand-alone move, but is dragged into a consumer chain of “sitting around the commercial area to watch the lights and have a drink at night”。
The citizens are watching the ferris wheel night lights show
A skyscraper, which lists the locational properties and night economy of the cultural brigade in the region of beijing in the south-east, has been added to the table。
