Designers hope the local giants will leave their mountainside homes and come play ping pong with the locals.
In honor of the county’s favorite sport, Huainan, China (that’s in the east) is building a giant ping pong paddle hotel. It will be nearly 500 feet tall and be part of a giant Olympic Park.
Four buildings in the park are also under construction, namely an American football-shaped main stadium, a volleyball-shaped natatorium, a football-shaped gym stadium and a basketball-shaped stadium. The overall investment of the park is said to reach 1.8 billion yuan in three phases within five years.
Did I say Olympic Park? Yeah… don’t know what that’s all about. Nothing I could find notes Huainan as a possible Olympic city or anything.
