China Post 1_Beijing 6

I was lucky enough to get a tour of the CCTV building, currently under construction.
I've also attached a rendering of the expected outcome. The project is pretty phenomenal, and I think they've already demonstrated just how amazing the curtain wall/structural concept is.

China Post 1_Beijing_4





China Post 1_Beijing_3

After hiking, I did what one has to do in BJ: scurry around in the blistering heat of the Forbidden city and the most grossly overscaled square (Tiananmen) in the world.
Obligatory viewing in BJ, but all I felt was heat-stricken.

Here are some photos from my (1st ever) China trip!
I first flew to Beijing, where I did an arranged hike through some beautiful landscapes to the north of the city. We passed by the great wall and finished at a walled village.
