Yesterday on February 29, Beijing celebrated the opening of its airport’s new terminal, as a project in preparation for the Olympics.
With a floor space of 986,000 square meters, the new terminal building is the largest of its kind in the world. 3km end-to-end! (A nightmare if you arrive late for your flight and have to run through.)
The building designed by leading British architect Lord Foster has a shape of dragon, with a mixture of traditional and modern tastes. It’s not only the size that is amazing. The airport was built at a whopping speed of 4 years as a whole. It indeed represnts "diligence" of the Chinese people, working 24 hours a day for 7 days a week.
