The Sea Pearl Hotel concept was designed by Professor Jianping Zheng, who is the creator ultra-modern development projects in China over the past 30 years.

Prof Zheng, who has designed and built more than 200 theme park and tourism projects in China, visited Queensland as part of the Global Cafe, a lead-up event to the G20.

His design incorporates;

300-room floating Sea Pearl Hotel

Shops

Restaurants

Entertaining facilities

Swimming pools

Casino

Underwater Tunnel

All this would be lit up at night with coloured light beams which would brighten the Gold Coast skyline.

Prof Zheng said that the southern side of the proposed cruise ship terminal could be the perfect site for his next project. It would be lit up at night with coloured beams sweeping the Gold Coast sky.
