New Marriott to join attractions at northern Beijing leisure park

Beijing Marriott Hotel Changping, scheduled to open this month, will comprise part of a new landmark leisure facility - Fun Capital Complex - in the north of the city.

The complex, also containing a shopping outlet center and a theme park, is a center for business, culture, tourism, education and technology. It provides an ideal leisure venue serving Beijing residents and visitors from other regions.

Fun Capital Complex fills what had been a gap in the market in the Beijing suburbs, which lacked large-scale tourist and cultural projects, and an upgrade of the capital's overall leisure tourism industry, officials said at the opening ceremony of the complex last Saturday.
