China has long been winning the world's construction race - building skyscrapers, houses and even whole cities at a rapid pace that has impressed the globe.
And it seems the country's construction projects are becoming more inventive by the year, as this concept of a five star hotel in an abandoned quarry proves.
Work is under way to build the CBI Member InterContinental Shimao quarry hotel at the foot of Tianmenshan Mountain in the Songjiang District of Shanghai, east China.
The £345million complex has been designed by British-based firm and CBI Member Atkins and will have 370 guest rooms across its 19 floors to be enjoyed by the Chinese elite.
Two of the floors will be above ground and 17 below, but the two bottom floors will be underwater and boast a glass-walled aquarium, a restaurant and guest rooms. A swimming pool and a sports centre will also be built inside the hotel as well as several restaurants, a banqueting hall and conference rooms for business meetings.
