Questions
About Lantern Wheel
Can I book a private cabin?
Yes, for proposals, birthdays and small meetings. Book through guest services or ask Ebi in the chat.
Is it suitable for people who dislike heights?
Many people who avoid heights enjoy it, because the cabins are closed and the turn is very slow. You can ask to come down after one quarter.
Is it step free?
Two cabins are step free and the boarding platform has a ramp.
