Better not rotate it:

Universal Beijing park layout rotate and resize. The best I could do...

More pictures from the groundbreaking ceremony. Looks like the weather was a little nasty.

I can see Waterworld. A Waterworld stunt show in China in 2020 -- seriously?

Can we get a higher resolution and better angle of this?

Groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 5.

Construction of Beijing's Universal Studios Theme Park project has kicked off in Tongzhou District on November 5. It is expected to be completed and open to the public in 2020.

Wang Tayi, Deputy General Manager of the Shouhuan Cultural and Tourism Investment Company Limited (BSH), the Chinese partner of Universal Studios on this project, says that the start of construction phase marks the project's transition from preparation to basic project construction.

The whole project - the park and resort - will cover an area of 4 square kilometers, with the initial project covering 1.59 square kilometers.

The total investment in the park is over 50 billion yuan (around 788 million US dollars). The park is expected to receive over 10 million tourists per year.
