A massive 16-floor hotel has been built in the Hunan province of China in just under six days.
The New Ark Hotel has broken exisiting construction records, rising from an empty plot in Changsha to its full height in just 136 hours.
Developer Broad Sustainable Building, who worked until 10pm each night, say the five days and 16 hour construction time is thanks to the use of pre-fabricated parts.
The frame of the 50m building - which is built to withstand a magnitude nine earthquake - took just 46 hours to put together, with the building enclosure taking another 90.
A video of the construction process, which was taken from the parent company's website, has become an online sensation, attracting more than 3 million viewers and 1,100 comments.
The world record for building a house stands at 3hr 26min 34sec, set by a team in Alabama.
