    As construction ramps back up, so do the photos









    The future home of Universal's signature rotating globe



    Transit station





    As a bonus, take a look at the concept art below:



    At first, this might just look like the same old concept art that Universal/Comcast has been using for years, but check out the detail and you may notice distinct differences not found in the official version released almost five and a half years ago. In particular, going clockwise starting at the park's entrance, Hulk and Fast & Furious signs are present, a dragon can be seen perched atop Gringotts Wizarding Bank, a snow-covered Hogsmeade village plus Hogwarts Castle is clearly visible, and lastly a large ship is seen indicating a Madagascar-themed area. Of course much of this could just be placeholders, and the official concept art was obviously changed to make the attractions/areas less recognizable and more generic (just like the official concept art for Universal's Epic Universe) but it's still interesting to see.

    For your convenience here's high resolution of the official concept art to compare:

    According to a new article, the coronavirus has overall not affected the construction progress on Universal Beijing Resort. All projects in the park have fully resumed and the total number of onsite construction personnel has exceeded 14,000, which is basically what the peak number of workers was prior to the virus. As shown in some of the photos of CityWalk, thousands of trees which have been growing at the onsite nursery are being planted throughout the resort.
