Could you ride the Bubble Tram?
For anyone who is afraid of heights, Guangzhou, China’s, new Bubble Tram is sure to make your stomach drop. This modern Ferris wheel rotates around the outside of the Canton Tower — the highest tower in China at 2,000 feet tall — with cabins set at a 15-degree angle 1,495 feet in the air. All 16 cabins are translucent so you can take in the beautiful views on China’s third-largest city (as well as become even more aware you’re extremely high off the ground). It takes about 25 minutes to rotate around, so be prepared to be in the air for quite awhile.
