Dear MEL Topic Readers,
World's first figure-8
ferris wheel opens in Macau
Gambling used to be the image
most people have of Macau. But like the benchmark town in America, Las Vegas,
it is transforming from the capital of gamble to the capital of entertainment
in Eastern Asia. The city and the hotel/resort operators are trying to deal
with declining number of gamblers and attempting to invite more family
visitors.
One of the ideas is to
build new icons. There, an astonishing modern Ferris wheel has just been created
right between the two towers of a luxurious resort called Studio City. Though the
combined gigantic wheels look like figure eight, Chinese lucky number, the design
concept is to show a pair of asteroids crashed through the building. Passengers
can enjoy this 15-minute ride that goes as high as 130 meters above ground to
overlook magnificent view of the capital of entertainment.
Enjoy reading the article
and seeing the photos of this transforming city.
