The Hong Kong Observation Wheel (abbr. HKOW) is a 60-metre (197-foot) tall [1] Ferris wheel located at the Central Harbourfront, Central, Hong Kong. [2] It has 42 gondolas, including one VIP Gondola with leather seats and a clear glass bottom floor. All gondolas are equipped with air conditioners and communication systems.
Drombeg stone circle, at the winter solstice, the sun sets into a v formed by two distant overlapping hills and makes an alignment with the altar stone and the two main uprights. Due to the nature of the site and the western hills, local mid-winter sunset is c. 15:50.
The Observatory was established on 2 March 1883 as the Hong Kong Observatory by Sir George Bowen, the 9th Governor of Hong Kong, with William Doberck (1852–1941) as its first director. Early operations included meteorological and magnetic observations, a time service based on astronomical observations and a tropical cyclone warning service.
Waglan Island is a member of the Po Toi group of islands in Hong Kong. Wagan Lighthouse, a declared monument dating to 1893 stands there. Since 1989 Wagan lighthouse is automated and Wagan Island is uninhabited. The island also hosts a ground of meteorological observation and recording for the Hong Kong Observatory. [1]
The detailed data provided by 3D systems allows for more intricate adjustments and a more thorough understanding of the vehicle's alignment geometry, particularly suited to 4 wheel drive cars or those needed 4 wheel alignment.

[3] [4] [5] Also, there appears to be some inconsistency as to the actual construction costs of the OWL, with some estimating its cost an order of magnitude higher (ELT currently at €1.3 billion, [6] equivalent to around $1.3 billion, scaled using D^2.77 proportionality assuming a 100 meter diameter yields $21 billion).
