The gleaming glass-and-steel forest of Beijing, anchored by the gravity-defying CCTV Headquarters and the soaring China Zun.
This is the “Wall Street of China.” The CBD is a theater of architectural ambition, dominated by Rem Koolhaas’s CCTV Headquarters—a defiant, cantilevered loop often called “The Big Underpants.” Looming over it all is the CITIC Tower (China Zun), its elegant curves inspired by an ancient Chinese wine vessel. Walking through this district is a lesson in Modern China’s economic might. For the best experience, we arrange for a sunset drink at a high-altitude bar, where you can watch the neon veins of the city pulse beneath your feet.
