Beijing, A Brave New World
House and Leisure
|February - March 2020
China’s dynamic capital city of Beijing is a place of fascinating contradiction – where counter cultures exist in chaotic yet contemplative harmony
The unveiling a few months ago of Beijing’s second long-haul international airport (and the world’s largest single terminal building), the futuristic mega starfish-shaped Daxing Airport (designed by the late ‘starchitect’ Zaha Hadid) must have been a good omen for the Chinese, opening on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. As China’s capital city and one of the oldest cities in the world, Beijing is home to a powerhouse of cultural icons with seven UNESCO-World Heritage sites (Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City, Ming Dynasty Tombs, Zhoukoudian Site Museum, Peking Man, Chengde) and The Great Wall of China (one of The Seven Wonders of the World).
