Experiencing the All-New Suzhou Eye


🌟 What Makes It Special

The Suzhou Eye is an architectural marvel set on the east bank of Jinji Lake in Suzhou’s Industrial Park. Standing 128 meters tall, it’s the largest over-water Ferris wheel in Asia and one of the tallest in the world.

With 28 rotating glass capsules, each holding up to 25 passengers, you’ll get a stunning 360° panorama of the lake and city skyline.

One full rotation takes about 30 minutes, making it the perfect ride to soak in Suzhou’s modern beauty.
