Additionally, the park will include a Ferris wheel with the highest natural altitude in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, according to information released by the district’s urban management authority last year.

The Ferris wheel was designed measuring about 88 meters in diameter and 105 meters in base altitude. However, it was not included in the current construction approval, sznews.com reported.
