安徽淮南打算建一棟150米高、乒乓球拍形狀的旅館

The hotel, located in a planned Olympic park covering an area of over 1,000 mu (67 hectares), has an estimated investment of 300 million yuan. It will feature three parts, the top designed for sight-seeing, the middle will house guest rooms, and bottom used for conference facilities.
這棟建築是建在一個規劃中的奧林匹克公園內，園區佔地面積一千畝，預計投資三億人民幣。園區包含三大部分：景觀區、旅館區和會議設施。

"The design idea is from ping-pong. An erected ping-pong racket has a perfect architectural shape for a hotel," said Jin Chang, director with Huainan Municipal Bureau of Sports.
淮南市體育局的局長表示，建築的設計靈感確實來自乒乓球拍，直立的球拍形狀很適合作爲旅館的建築外形。

The buildings were all designed by Mei Jikui, a renowned architect for sports structures. Supporting facilities such as a swimming pool are also included in the plans.
規劃中的奧林匹克園區建築都是由體育建築專家梅季魁設計的。園區中還會有一個游泳池。
