Tianzi Hotel in Beijing





One of the strangest hotels in the world - the Tianzi Hotel in Beijing.

(Son of the Heaven) in the Beijing municipality in China.

The hotel is built in the form of three traditional Chinese gods (福禄寿, Happiness, Fortune and Longevity).

The hotel is in the Guinness World Record for being the world's 'biggest image building' in 2001.

It is 41.6m high with 10 stories.

You'll notice that Shou (God of Longevity), the chap on the left as you face the hotel, is holding a peach. That peach is actually a penthouse suite within the hotel, the two holes in its front being windows.
