OH Bay (Bay Glory Ferris Wheel)

OH Bay is a waterfront leisure complex on the Qianhai-Bao'an coast in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, in Guangdong province, China, best known for the Bay Glory Ferris Wheel that dominates the shoreline. Entry to the promenade and plazas is free, and the wide waterfront walkway looks across the water toward the Qianhai skyline and the Shenzhen Bay Bridge area. The Ferris wheel is the main paid attraction, with tickets of roughly ¥80-120, and its cabins give panoramic views of the harbour, the surrounding towers and the sunset over the Pearl River estuary. Around the base are restaurants, cafes, bars and shops that stay open until about 22:00, and the promenade is a favoured spot for evening strolls, cycling and family outings. A typical visit lasts two to three hours, built around a walk along the water, a ride on the wheel and dinner. Late afternoon into evening is the best time, as the light softens, temperatures drop and the wheel and surrounding buildings are lit after dark, which produces the strongest photographs from the waterfront edge and from the cabins themselves. Weekday afternoons are quiet, whereas weekend evenings and holidays draw large crowds and queues for the wheel. The site is reached by Metro to Bao'an Center followed by a taxi or Didi of about 10 minutes, costing roughly ¥15-25.
