Sun Wheel

This guide to the Sun Wheel in Da Nang traces the ride's earlier life as Igosu 108, a record-setting observation wheel built in 1992 beside a lake in Shiga, Japan. You'll hear how it was dismantled after closing in 2001 and hauled across the sea to be rebuilt on a taller base, and how architect Bill Bensley reimagined the park around it. Watch for dusk, when thousands of LED lights switch on along its rim.
