As dusk settles over Tianjin, the 120-meter Tianjin Eye Ferris wheel transforms into a radiant beacon above the Haihe River, its 48 illuminated cabins offering a unique vantage point to observe China's fourth-largest city. This engineering marvel – one of the world's tallest Ferris wheels – serves as both tourist attraction and symbolic backdrop to the 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2025, where over 1,500 global innovators converge to shape tomorrow's economic landscape.
The 30-minute rotation cycle reveals Tianjin's architectural tapestry: colonial-era buildings along the Five Great Avenues contrast with the shimmering skyscrapers of Binhai New Area. For business leaders attending the 'Entrepreneurship for New Era' forum, the wheel's elevation mirrors the summit's ambition to elevate sustainable development strategies.
Local tourism officials note a 40% surge in evening visitors during the event period, with special LED light shows synchronized to cultural performances along the riverbanks. The convergence of global entrepreneurship dialogue and cultural display underscores Tianjin's evolution as a hub where history meets cutting-edge innovation.
