About Tianjin Eye
A Ferris wheel about 120 m tall built into Yongle Bridge beside the Sanchakou confluence, with 48 enclosed capsules. A full turn takes about half an hour, and all the capsules were replaced in 2023. It is lit in the evening, and Jingang Bridge just to the south is the usual place to photograph it with the confluence in view.
