In a joint project with Saudi Arabia, Chinese authorities plan to build a seven-star hotel in Beijing s Mentougou district, amounting to US$1.3-billion.
The new hotel will be modelled on Dubai s Burj Khalifa, an 828-metre structure with a tapering design. According to a report in Tour Expi, Saudi Arabia will bear the entire expense of construction.
