Thanks for the mention.It worked for me as a reminder as i'm arranging a list of "regional places to go to" during my holidays.And when you talk about travelling, certain amount of knowledge about the expressways, highways,bridges and the places to stay does help a lot.The cleanliness and the construction is astonishing.Seems like as if someone has painted those with a brush on a canvas like a work of art and then,as if by magic it has transformed into the real thing.
Bookmarked.

World's largest retractable dome tested
China.org.cn, September 7, 2016
Editor's note: A huge steel lotus bloomed in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, on Sept. 5 as developers there went through trial runs of a building's retractable dome, the largest of its kind in the world. Designed to mimic the lotus flower, the dome is made up of 10 pieces of steel weighing a total of 500 tons and takes nearly 10 minutes to open and come together again. The building, which has already become a landmark of the city, will officially open to the public on Sept. 10. Covering a construction area of 21,000 square meters, it will become the world's largest bar with cultural and leisure facilities that can accommodate 3,800 people.

It looks magnificent though the capacity appears small
Its an engineering marvel again in China
Zhangjiajie is trying hard to commission as many iconic attractions as it could these days
I wonder who the architect and engineers are
Once the protective flim layers are removed from the "petals" it would be looking stunning in the dark emitting glowing lights from inside out
Get ready for the party! China's new 'world's largest bar' looks like a UFO, has a roof like a lotus flower and can house 3,800 guests
Published: 14:18 GMT, 26 April 2016 | Updated: 23:23 GMT, 26 April 2016
Building work on an enormous bar with a transparent domed roof that can house thousands of revelers is picking up pace in south central China.
Situated in downtown Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, the ambitious new bar - which resembles a flying saucer when seen from above - will be able to host up to 3,800 guests over an area of 225,000 square feet, according to a report by People's Daily Online.
Zhangjiajie Cloud Top Culture Industry Development Co. Ltd has invested 220 million yuan (£23 million) into the project, due to open this August. Chinese media are dubbing it the world's largest bar, although this is difficult to verify.

Ambitious: The main building work on the huge bar in downtown Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, south central China, is now almost complete
+6
Almost at an end? On April 24, the company announced that construction had recently been completed on the main part of the building
+6
Nightlife: It even promises to have a remarkable roof that expands and opens on warm evenings, resembling a gigantic lotus flower
On April 24, the company announced that construction had recently been completed on the main part of the building.
Customers visiting the bar will be treated to a range of attractions and cool features including futuristic lighting, projections and even robot waiters.
Last week a cooperation agreement was signed with Hunan Provincial Musicians Association to establish the bar as an international music venue.
It even promises to have a remarkable roof that expands and opens in the evening, resembling a gigantic lotus flower.
The highly anticipated bar is a short drive from Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the UNESCO world heritage site said to have influenced the scenery in the popular science fiction film Avatar.

Thanks for the information
Zhangjiajie has received a lot of support from the government and entrepreneurs to expand their tourism obviously
After reading my above posting (271) again, the news report by Daily Mail in April 2016 described the building has "a transparent domed roof " but in the Sept. 6 report by The People's Daily that followed it said "The lotus-shaped dome, consisting of 10 steel tiles weighing 500 tons" so I am inclined to believe the updated report by People's Daily that the picture(s) provided on the lotus dome are steel tiles and as such they cannot be "transparent" - contrary to The Daily Mail's earlier report and its related illustrations which showed nothing more than artistic impressions. They might have changed their original plan from a transparent dome to steel afterwards So let's see their final product
In addition, I've checked that Zhangjiajie has a population of less than 2 million So the capacity in the plan is about right for a huge bar or a modern venue for concerts

When I visited Zhangjiajie late last year, I don't remember seeing this dome or its construction.
Damn! The HSR was not built yet. We have to take coaches.
If any of you have the chance, I highly recommend visiting Zhangjiajie but be prepared for the crowd. Zhangjiajie is made up of several national parks.
This video posted earlier by @AndrewJin covers all the places I visited except for the temple.
Tianmenshan cable way,cliff walk,winding road
天门山索道、栈道、盘山公路与世界高跨比最大的桥
Chinese bridge
Published on 25 Jun 2016
Tianmenshan cliff walk is the highest cliff walk in the world with about 300m high. Zhangjiajie national park footbridge (from this video's 2:43-2:58) has the largest high/span ratio with 142m high and 22m span. Located in Zhangjiajie city, Hunan province. Can see more detail introduction from links below:
张家界天门山栈道是世界最高的栈道，垂直高度达300米左右。邻近的武陵源国家公园内人行天桥是世界高跨比最大的桥（百米以上高度中），142米高，跨度仅22米！可以在这段视频2：43秒到2分58秒间看到此桥。具体介绍见下面链接：

Beautiful
It said in the news the time of travelling from point to point will be shortened by 2.5 hours
Now concrete, tarmac and asphalt will do the rest on the bridge deck before it is ready for the traffic
