The Ferris wheel is as tall as a 42-storey residential building and is expected to open at the end of this year. The giant Ferris wheel will have 48 cabins, each of which can carry 10 passengers.
LED lights will be installed on the Ferris wheel's spokes and rim, which will highlight the snowflake-shaped unit of the wheel as night falls.
