The hotel will have seven floors:

Basement — equipment and storage

Ground floor — facilities to be decided

First floor — a large conference room, three meeting rooms and a seminar room

Second floor — office accommodation

Third-fifth floors — bedrooms

Sixth floor — a large restaurant, available for guests and the general public

The contract to design the hotel and conference centre will be awarded to the construction company which produces the best plan for the ground floor.

Here’re some famous places of interest in Beijing for you to visit.

The Great Wall of China

It’s one of the greatest sights in the world — the longest wall in the world, an awe-inspiring feat of ancient defensive architecture. Its winding path over rugged country steep mountains takes in some great scenery. It shows us not only China’s culture of national pride, grand projects, and determined resistance, but also China’s extravagant architecture and creativity.

The Summer Palace

It’s the largest and most complete imperial garden existing in China. It was first built in the 12th century as an imperial palace. Occupying an area of 304 hectares, the Summer Palace features hilly and water scenery. The Kunming Lake makes up four-fifths of this royal park. The Long Corridor running east-west along the lake as well as the Pavilion of the Fragrance of Buddha, the Sea of Wisdom, and the Hall of Dispelling the Clouds and Suzhou Street standing south to north on the Longevity Hill are the major scenic spots.

It was the Chinese imperial palace during the mid-Ming and the Qing Dynasties. It’s listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world. Added to the World Heritage in 1987 as the “Imperial Palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties”, the Forbidden City is now officially called the Palace Museum.
