Following just two months of operations, Universal Beijing Resort is reportedly planning its second phase of construction which is expected to expand the attraction by 2.2sq km.
The recently announced expansion will see Universal Beijing build five more hotels that will join the Universal Studios Grand Hotel and NUO Resort Hotel. Speaking at a press briefing, Cui Shuqiang, Beijing Municipal Government Official said that the resort, which currently covers an area of 1.8sq km, will eventually welcome up to 10 million annual visitors.
When it opened in September, Universal Studios Beijing became the world’s fifth Universal Studios Themes park, it is also the third Universal Studios attraction in Asia and the first in China. The park brings together Universal experiences with Chinese culture through the seven themed lands.
