The largest spokeless/shaftless Ferris wheel in the world with Guinness World Record
Landmark of Weifang City
Project Details
As the world's largest spokeless/shaftless Ferris Wheel (recognized by the Guinness World Record in 2018), with rotary diameter of 125m and total height of 145m, the Ferris wheel named Eye of Bohai Sea is 10m higher than world-renowned "London Eye". Built on the Bailang River Bridge, the wheel was equipped with 36 spherical gondolas all able of carrying 10 persons, offering a bird’s eye view of the Bohai Gulf estuary during the 30-minute trip.
Some 4,600 tonnes of steel were used to create the latticed tube of the giant wheel’s rim, dubbed as the "dragon’s spine", as well as its mammoth supports.
The wheel is not only a landmark of Weifang city but also has brought enormous economic benefits to the region, which further increases citizens' happiness and life satisfaction.

The spokeless Ferris wheel is a new type of Ferris wheel design that has gained popularity in recent years. Unlike traditional Ferris wheels that have a central hub with spokes extending outward to support the cabins, spokeless Ferris wheels have a rim that is supported by a series of individual struts or cables. This design provides a unique and aesthetically pleasing appearance, as it appears to be a large ring floating in the air. The cabins are attached directly to the rim, which creates a smoother and more stable ride for passengers. The spokeless Ferris wheel is often referred to as an observation wheel, as it provides unparalleled views of the surrounding area. It is a popular attraction at amusement parks, fairs, and other events.
