Today we went to The London Eye, which is located on The river Thames of London. It is The world's first and largest observation ferris wheel by 2005. It is one of The landmarks and famous tourist attractions of London.

The London Eye opened in late 1999, when it was sponsored by British airways and hence known as the millennium wheel, with a total height of 135 metres (443 feet). The London eye has 32 cabins (numbered 1 to 33). Because religion taboo, no. 13), because the outside of the cabin is made of tempered glass, so there is an air conditioning system.

Each cabin can carry about 25 passengers, and the rotating speed is about 0.26 meters per second, or 30 minutes per lap. The London eye was built to celebrate the new millennium and is therefore called the millennium ferris wheel.

Passengers can take the "London eye" up into the air and have a bird's eye view of London. At night, the "London eye" becomes a huge blue halo, greatly adding to the dreamy temperament of the Thames. The London eye also lights up the UK general election in 2015, with red lights for the Labour party, blue for the conservatives, purple for the UK independence party and yellow for the liberal Democrats.
