Details of Wuxi Taihu Star

The "Star of Taihu Lake" Ferris wheel, which is concerned by the public, will be opened at the end of September this year due to the weather. On July 9th, it was confirmed by relevant parties that the construction period of the Ferris wheel, which was originally scheduled to be completed and opened on May 1 this year, was delayed by three months, and the installation works such as hanging warehouse and electrical equipment were being stepped up.

The "Star of Taihu Lake" water ferris wheel is located between Lihu Park and Hubin Hotel in Xicheng. Construction began in early August last year and installation began in March this year. Originally scheduled for May 1 day this year, the "Taihu Star" water ferris wheel can be opened to the public. In view of the delay in the completion of the project, Mr. Sasaki, the person in charge of Quanyang Taihu Star (Wuxi) Tourism Co., Ltd., explained that it was mainly because of the difficulty in field work caused by the second typhoon and long-term rainfall last year, and the snowstorm that happened in the first 50 years of this year, which delayed the transportation of equipment and stopped all ground and aerial work. According to reports, the water ferris wheel project is mainly open-air operation, and its main structure stands in the lake, so its construction is greatly affected by natural conditions.

The water ferris wheel of Taihu Star is about 1 15 meters high, which is about 40 meters higher than that of Xishan. Its main structure is supported by six iron frames with a diameter of about 1m and a height of about 60m. On July 9, the reporter saw at the scene that six supporting iron frames were evenly distributed to form a circular skeleton of 60 square meters. The support frame lifts the main shaft of the Ferris wheel with a diameter of 3 meters to a height of 65 meters from the ground. The site builder said that the main shaft weighed 60 tons. Ferris wheel has entered the pod and electrical installation.

It is understood that the "Taihu Star" water ferris wheel has a total of 64 hanging cages, each of which can carry 6 people, and all the staff can carry 384 people at a time, and it takes about 18.7 minutes to turn around. According to reports, tourists sitting on the Ferris wheel can not only see the scenery of Taihu Lake such as Fairy Island and Luding Mountain, but also overlook the urban area of Wuxi. After nightfall, the electronic decoration of the Ferris wheel will become a beautiful scenery. The project also includes floating children's garden facilities and the Arctic World Experience Hall.
