Beijing TV Centre

The Beijing Television Center is a striking skyscraper in the Chinese capital, completed in 2006. Rising 239 meters (784 feet) across 41 floors, the building stands out prominently against the sky. The architecture was designed by the Japanese firm Nikken Sekkei. Today the complex houses the Beijing Radio and Television Station. As a modern office building, it embodies the city's technological and media development. You can admire the structure from the outside and get a sense of Beijing's imposing skyline, which is shaped by contemporary high-rises like this one.
