Chinese Built A Hotel in Six Days

( words)

This is not necessarily becoming one of the most famous hotels in the world, but in fact it already is! A construction crew in the south-central Chinese city of Changsha has completed a 15-story hotel in just six days.
The work crew erected the hotel, a soundproofed, thermal-insulated structure built to withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake, with all prefabricated materials.
Despite the frenetic pace of construction, no workers were injured -- and thanks to the prefab nature of the process, the builders wasted very few construction materials. Below is a time-lapse video that shows the hotel being built from the ground up in less than a week, watch it in just 2 minutes.
