Giant Ferris wheel installed on building roof in Shanghai

  • 9 years ago
An interesting video has emerged from China of a giant wheel being installed on the roof of a shopping centre in Shanghai.

In the footage, filmed by a local resident on Sunday, some workers can be seen working on assembling the wheel on top of the building, which is still under construction at a busy junction.

According to news reports, the 30-capsule observation site is the first in China of its kind and due to open in December this year. At 100 metres above the ground, it is reported to adopt a structure the same as that used on London Eye.

The wheel will cost the developer 20 million yuan (£2.03 million) as reported by local broadcasters.
