Sun Wheel

The Sun Wheel is a prominent landmark in Ha Long City, Vietnam, standing as one of the tallest ferris wheels in the country. Located in the Ha Long Bay area, it provides visitors with breathtaking 360-degree views of the UNESCO World Heritage site, the city, and the surrounding limestone karsts.
