4. Nanchang Ferris Wheel: star of the city
As the name implies, the Star of Nanchang is currently the world's second tallest operating Ferris wheel, and a pride of Nanchang, capital city of Jiangxi Province in East China.
The 160-meter-tall giant has 60 enclosed air-conditioned gondolas, with each carrying eight passengers, for a maximum capacity of 480 passengers. A single rotation takes approximately 30 minutes; the slow rotation speed allows passengers to embark and disembark without the wheel having to stop turning. And, it's cheap, at only 50 yuan ($8).
Opening time: 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Address: International Exhibition Center, Nanchang
