Zhonghua Fuyun Prayer Wheel

中华福运轮

A giant prayer wheel structure on the banks of the Yellow River. Visitors can spin the wheel inside, and climbing up offers views over the river and Guide town.

Zhonghua Fuyun Prayer Wheel stands on the north bank of the Yellow River, northwest of the county seat. This Tibetan-style structure is shaped like a giant prayer wheel, several dozen meters tall. The wheel inside can be turned, and the surrounding area has white stupas, prayer flags, and a plaza. It is a popular spot for photos of the Yellow River with the prayer wheel, and the light is best in the evening. It is about 1 to 2 km from Guide Ancient City and can be reached by taxi or bike. Visitors should observe Tibetan Buddhist etiquette inside and walk clockwise around the structure.
