Wuhan has exciting summer fun again, and my social media post went viral!

Another must-visit summer spot in Wuhan +1️⃣
This time I checked out the newly opened Ferris wheel🎡 and circus🎪
Both are brand new🆕
You can watch the sunset🌇 from the Ferris wheel
Strong AC keeps it cool and comfortable
The circus is both thrilling and dreamy
Definitely worth a visit

📍 Wuhan Polar Ocean Resort
🚇 Take Metro Line 2/3/8 to Hongtu Avenue Station, Exit F2
🚗 Located near the 3rd Ring Road with parking at the entrance

❶ "Eye of Chutian" Ferris Wheel
☑️ 360° panoramic view
Unobstructed views overlooking Wuhan's cityscape. The weather was perfect when I went, with beautiful comic-like clouds☁️ and a stunning sunset🌇.
·
☑️ Multiple themed cabins
Besides standard cabins, there are several themed ones. I rode the red heart❤️ theme, while friends got the polar theme with polar bear patterns🐻‍❄️—super photogenic📸.
-
☑️ 17 minutes and 18 seconds
That's how long one full rotation takes🎡. The ride is smooth with strong AC, so even in summer heat, it stays cool.
·
⚠️⚠️⚠️ The circus is right next to the Ferris wheel🎡. Many visitors head straight to the Ferris wheel after the circus, leading to longer queues. I recommend going during off-peak hours👍🏻 to reduce wait time and enjoy a more spacious cabin experience.
-
❷ Polar Circus
☑️ 80 minutes
Each circus show lasts 80min, packed with acts for both adults and kids.
·
☑️ High-difficulty performances
Features aerial silk, equestrian stunts, globe of death, wheel of death, trampoline acts, and more—utterly mesmerizing! Watching foreign performers walk blindfolded on spinning pendulums had me holding my breath!
·
☑️ Super dreamy
Includes a carousel descending from the sky🎠, flower fairies on swings, princesses on white horses, lively parades, and occasional bubbles🫧—totally fed my inner child!
·
⚠️⚠️⚠️ The Ferris wheel and circus🎪 are outside the Polar Ocean Park and can be visited with separate tickets.
-
❸ Wuhan Polar Ocean Park
☑️ Cool underwater world
Perfect for summer with AC and marine animals. Bring a camping lamp for better photo vibes.
·
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Night tours are available in summer, open until 21:00.

❹ Gokurakuyu & Wuhan Polar Ocean Hotel
