Hong Kong now has an Observation Wheel

Hong Kong&rsquos skyline got a little more crowded with the Observation Wheel opening on the city&rsquos central harbourfront. The 60-metre high giant Ferris wheel has 42 luxury gondolas &ndash each equipped with air-conditioners (for the summer) and heating systems (for the winter) and Wi-Fi. Each gondola can accommodate up to 8 passengers and a single trip will take 15-20 minutes. It will be open throughout the year from 11am to 11pm. The Hong Kong Observation Wheel is in close proximity to public transfer facilities including the Outlying Island&rsquos ferry piers, the Star ferry, Exchange Square&rsquos bus and minibus interchange and Hong Kong MTR Station. So, don&rsquot forget to add this new attraction to your itinerary when you&rsquore planning a trip to Hong Kong. Tickets start from HK$100 for adults. For persons with disability, children under 12 years, full-time students, and senior citizens, tickets are for HK$70. (1 HK$ = Rs 8). For more information, visit www.hkow.hk
