Great new photos of the park:

In the first photo we can see the Transformers-themed roller coaster, The Universal Studios Grand Hotel in the back, plus some ride buildings



This photo shows the NUO Resort Hotel and I think the Minion/Despicable Me area



Lastly there's a lot going on in this photo - notice the transit station in the back, the Jurassic World-themed inverted coaster, the Jurassic World dark ride building, the indoor Kung Fu Panda area, and the Waterworld stadium on the front left



Also a few days ago Universal Beijing Resort released this quick video but it shows minimal: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/kEsMm08JisahUsGyuUu9RQ

Best photo yet of the upcoming Transformers-themed roller coaster by Bolliger & Mabillard being built at the park - with only about 20 months until the grand opening keep checking themeparX for updates because the construction photos are getting better and better.

Yesterday at an event in Beijing, Universal did a presentation that unfortunately just repeated what we already know about the project, reaffirming (https://www.themeparx.com/universal-studios-beijing/?p=14064#post14064) that construction will be completed around October 2020 and then the grand opening will be in Spring 2021. The only thing that is slightly new is the Universal-branded hotel at the entrance has been officially named "The Universal Studios Grand Hotel" (环球影城大酒店). Because Universal didn't release any new construction photos or concept art, posts on social media and news articles about the event mainly used construction photos from themeparX, stock photos of the existing Universal theme parks, previously leaked concept art, and the official but outdated overview concept art. Despite the lack of new images from Universal we have some recent images for you:

First is some onsite work taking place on rockwork for the Kung Fu Panda area. It seems that the work is being done outside before being moved to and assembled in the indoor Kung Fu Panda area



Next is the usual photos of the park from a few days ago





Here's a couple photos from the event
