Anyone visiting Beijing can not avoid seeing all new buildings popping up in and around the center of Beijing. Some of them is controvers but China is thinking big - also in construction!
One of the most spectacular and discussed buildings You can see developing now is the new CCTV headquarter - an acrobatic wonder. The buildings two 40-story, 60 degree-leaning towers connected by a cantilevered bridge that has inspired as much as dismissive disbelief as speechless awe from designers worldwide. It is one of the most complex building ever built!
This buildings are made by ten thousand construction workers who really testify to the scale and complexity of this remarkable building, which may be the Chinese government's best answer to the pyramids of Egypt.
The building will be finished during 2009 to a estimated cost of: RMB 5.8 billion.
