Chinese Built A Hotel in Six Days

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.
