The resort, in Shaanhua’s Shaoyang district, will be called the Grand Villa Hotel.
It will be run by the Luxury Resorts and Tourism Corporation (LRTT) and the resort will offer the first-ever live-incident guest experience, according to the Beijing Daily.
It will feature a two-storey glass hotel suite with its own swimming pool and a guest spa.

It is being billed as a “new way of life” for China, which has already experienced a series of deadly outbreaks and the world’s worst coronavirus pandemic since 1918.

The resort will be the first in China to host the live-upcoming Super Bowl.
