Not to be left behind by its urban counterparts, one of China's richest village, Huaxi, has built a 328m skyscraper hotel at a cost of $470 million, sending clear indication of the country's economic growth.
The Longxi International Hotel in the village of Huaxi has been built to celebrate the village's 50th anniversary. The village, located in east China's Jiangsu province, has become the first rural area in the world to have its own skyscraper.
The hotel boasts 800 suites that can hold 2,000 people, an exhibition hall, a revolving restaurant, and rooftop swimming pools and gardens.
A sculpture of a bull, made from solid gold and reportedly weighing a tonne, has also been installed. The bull, a testament to the wealth of the village, will greet visitors from a viewing area on the sixtieth floor of the tower.
