As dusk settles over north China's Tianjin Municipality, the 120-meter Tianjin Eye Ferris wheel illuminates the Haihe River with a kaleidoscope of colors, offering visitors a bird's-eye perspective of the city's blend of modern towers and colonial-era architecture. This engineering marvel – one of the world's tallest observation wheels – is hosting special live tours during the 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2025, where global business leaders and innovators convene to discuss “Entrepreneurship for a New Era.”
Each 30-minute rotation in climate-controlled cabins reveals Tianjin's transformation from historic port city to innovation hub. The timing allows virtual participants worldwide to experience both the city's cultural heritage and its contemporary ambitions through panoramic views.
The event coincides with intensified infrastructure development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic corridor, with tourism revenue in the municipality growing 18% year-on-year. Analysts note such landmarks demonstrate China's urban planning strategies balancing technological advancement with cultural preservation.
