The second tallest Ferris wheel in the world, the Star of Nanchang is a whopping 160mt tall preceded only by Singapore Flyer. Opened to the world on May 2006 and built with superb precision and efficiency there are 60 capsules in the wheel, each representing a minute. Hence passengers can actually board or alight on the capsule without the wheel ever having to stop. Each capsule is air conditioned, and equipped with fire extinguisher, intercom and a lifeline barrel for safety. Moreover the wheel looks like a huge dazzling clock at night since it is adorned with 7000 LED lights. It offers a breath-taking view of the cityscape as it ascends above. Taking about 30 minutes to complete one rotation, the thrill never ceases to end when aboard the Star of Nanchang.

• By Bus: Lines: No. 17, 233, 504 and 506
