0867 SINGAPORE (Central Region) - Singapore Flyer

0867 One of the 28 capsules of Singapore Flyer

Singapore Flyer, opened in 2008, was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world (165 m) until 2014. Initially rotating in a counter-clockwise direction, its direction was changed under the advice of Feng shui masters. A complete rotation of the wheel takes approximately 37 minutes, to give customers time to admire the city panorama. In fact The Flyer is an entire complex, with a wide range of shops, restaurants, activities and facilities.

About the stamp
The stamp, depicting black marsh terrapin, belongs to a low value definitive stamp series, about which I wrote here.
