People can now enjoy a bird's eye view of Shanghai's stunning night scene from the top of the country's biggest Ferris wheel, 108 meters above the ground. 

Just opened, its 63 air-conditioned cabins can accommodate 720 people an hour.

And the wheel itself adds to the color of the neon lit night: it uses new, energy efficient technology that can light it up in seven different glorious colors.

The Ferris wheel is open to 10:00 pm everyday, and the tickets cost 20 yuan, about US$2.4.
