Dubai is undoubtedly one of the most "crazy" testing grounds in the history of human architecture, also known as the "architect's paradise" ~ clever design and inspiration have made many landmark buildings and the world's "most" ...
For example, the world's first seven-star hotel, the Burj Al Arab Hotel, which resembles a sail, is also known as the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai.
There is also the world's tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa, with a height of 828 meters and a total of 162 floors... There is also the world's largest shopping mall "Dubai Mall", the world's largest musical fountain "Dubai Musical Fountain", the world's most beautiful garden "Dubai Miracle Garden"... Wait, that's a lot!
Just two days ago, on the 21st, another new landmark in Dubai that broke through the boundaries of architecture was completed and officially opened, and Dubai's list of "the world's best" ushered in a new member~
On the same day, Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum showed off at the top of the "Dubai Eye" Ferris wheel... While drinking coffee, while enjoying the beauty of Dubai, it is really eye-catching ~ ~ ~
This buyer show, yes , this is the Ain Dubai, currently the world's largest and tallest Ferris wheel!
The world's largest Ferris wheel record holder before was the High Roller in the U.S. city of Las Vegas, which reached a height of 167 meters...
And the "Dubai Eye" broke through a new high ~ the height reached a staggering 250 meters!
The 167-meter Hawker Ferris Wheel and the 135-meter London Eye are like a younger brother in front of it...
The "Dubai Eye" as a whole consists of four giant tower pillars with a diameter of 6.5 meters and a height of 126 meters, each of which weighs the equivalent of two A380 passenger aircraft...
In order to build this super project, when construction began in 2013, even two of the world's strongest cranes , the PTC 200-DS and the Liebherr LR 13000 , were sent to Dubai...
It is worth mentioning that the installation also set a world record, with the 1900-ton spindle mounted on the top of the four legs ... This is the world's heaviest and tallest tandem hoist!
About 11,200 tons of steel were used in the construction, 33% more steel than was used to build the Eiffel Tower in Paris...
The completed "Dubai Eye" Ferris wheel consists of 48 double-glazed cabins, with a total of 192 spoke cables, each with a length of about 114 meters, a single steel cable weighing about 4.875 tons, and the total cable weight of about 936 tons... Just thinking about these numbers is simply shocking...!
Of course, the completed "Dubai Eye" is also stunning~ ~~
Using advanced technology to create a large viewing glass cabin, each glass cabin area of 30 square meters, can accommodate 40 people, in other words, it can carry a total of 1900+ tourists...
Located in the heart of the exquisite Bluewater Island, as you climb to the top on the Ferris wheel, you can easily take in Dubai's stunning coastline and stunning panoramic views of the city...
For friends who like to take pictures, it is definitely a great place ~ ~~
However, such a huge Ferris wheel, a circle is also quite slow, a lap takes 38 minutes... So friends who want to play must remember to go to the toilet in advance, otherwise it will be very embarrassing...
In addition, its luxury lies not only in having a beautiful view of the clouds, because some of the 48 cabins of the "Dubai Eye" are not only for sightseeing, but also for private customization according to the needs of tourists...
For example, you can choose to hold a birthday, marriage proposal, or business event party on it...
You can also choose the premium cockpit, which has a super comfortable single bed, take a nap on it, and casually take a video show show circle of friends, without having to squeeze in a cockpit with other tourists... Each cabin is also equipped with high-end air conditioning, free WiFi, etc., in short, there are many choices, as long as you are enough trench ~ ~~
Think about how many things can be done in 38 minutes, I'm afraid that the concept of the hourly room will be rewritten ~ ~ ~ (Xiaobian suddenly had a great idea ~ ~~)
At present, the "Dubai Eye" Ferris wheel has officially opened, and the ticket price starts from 130 dirhams (only about 226 soft sister coins?). It won't be so cheap ~~~), friends who want to feel the beauty of the clouds can write it in your wish list, ready to punch it ~~~
