This week theme
Standing 165m high and 150m of diameter, it is the biggest wheel in the world that offers 360 deg views of the city centre and beyond. The design of the wheel is notably avant-garde. Being a experimental and innovative look, It emphasize on the aspect of simplicity and harmony. Despite being a modern city with a largely ethnic Chinese nation, where traditions still hold sway, Feng Shui plays a vital role. A number of feng shui masters said that the wheel is on the perfect site to pick up the good qi (energy) flowing into Singapore, but the wheel was going against the sun and taking fortune away from Singapore. This cost the management to fork out a six digit sum just to make sure the wheel move into the right direction.

Your circle is bigger than mine :)
i enjoyed my 30 minute ride in that BIG wheel a few months back. :)
1round takes only 30minutes?? i thought maybe longer, like an hour
Hmm 30 mins is suffice to me. There’s another observation tower at Marina Bay Sands called Skypark. It has an amazing view point as well! http://lonelytravelog.com/2012/01/22/marina-bay-sands-singapore/
That is big allright ;) and great looking during night time .. Thanks for sharing
It sure does! Thanks for the like. Cheers!
Agreed! Glad you enjoyed it :)
