Kunlun Eye Ferris Wheel Theme Park

Kunlun Eye Ferris Wheel Theme Park is located by the East Lake in Kashgar, just 800 m from the ancient city of Kashgar. As a landmark high-altitude cultural and tourism complex in southern Xinjiang, its centerpiece is the 120 m high Kunlun Eye Ferris Wheel, a representative aerial sightseeing facility in the area. The park's core feature is high-altitude viewing, equipped with 36 fully transparent, temperature-controlled cabins that operate smoothly without bumps. An 18-minute ride offers a 360° unobstructed view of the Kunlun snow-capped mountains, the shimmering East Lake, the millennia-old ancient city, and the modern urban landscape, presenting a rare four-layered panorama of the Western Regions. By day, the scenery is vast and majestic, while at night, the Ferris Wheel's flowing light strips reflect on the lake, creating a dual-layered ambiance that makes it a popular photo spot for travelers. Beyond the Ferris Wheel, the park features diverse attractions such as arcade games, bumper cars, and a naked-eye cinema, catering to family-friendly leisure, couple outings, and urban sightseeing travel requests. Its proximity to the ancient city allows for seamless integration with Silk Road cultural tours, offering both a bird's-eye view of the border city and leisurely strolls along the East Lake waterfront to experience the local charm of the Western Regions. Combining natural sightseeing, urban exploration, leisure entertainment, and cultural study, it is a modern-themed park worth visiting in Kashgar.
