Building work at UBR is being carried out using innovative technologies, including information modelling technology utilised in the design of the parking building.

Universal Beijing is also being constructed with environmental protection in mind, with dust pollution avoided through various effective measures.

In addition, UBR is set to exhibit at the China International Fair for Trade in Services on September 4, said Xu.

Universal Studios Beijing, the Universal Studios Grand Hotel and the NUO Resort Hotel are all opening in 2021, forming Universal Beijing Resort.
