Bird's Eye View of Beijing

[Boyce]

The bar, lounge, and restaurant atop the highest building the Beijing, China World Summit Wing, opened today on the 79th and 80th floors. The view--when the air is clear--is spectacular. A photo I took today:

You can see The Bird's Nest, Workers Stadium, The Forbidden City, and lots of other Beijing highlights. I have put some more photos of my blog beijing.boyce and recommend anyone who wants to get a different view of Beijing to visit this place.

Cheers, Boyce

Oooh, that is pretty. Good day for it, the last couple of days have been very clear - there were even a few stars out last night.

They could do with some landscaping around the CCTV building, looks a bit bare.

Wow, that looks spectacular! Precisely why it's my favourite city in the world. It's a pity that I don't live there right now...

@ roddy,

the CCTV Tower should already be open. interesting to see the crane by the Mandarin Oriental, looks like something is finally going on with that burned out building.

cheers, boyce

hey Boyce,

yes, so how much is to get up? Just have to pay for drinks or have to pay for using the "elevator"?

I believe they are salvaging the building. I probably saw the article in a newsletter that I get about architecture and can't find the source now.
