Buildings in Beijing

Generally, the buildings of Beijing are rather colourful. They seem to like neon lights along the perimeters of their buildings.


On the other side of the city, one of the few remaining Hutongs left.
Yeah, this is the world famous Bird Nest. The national stadium of Beijing.
Just beside the bird nest, its the Water Cube.
Personally, I like this water cube better than the bird nest.
This is the CCTV building in Beijing, it has an interesting structure.
Just beside it, a building razed to nothing by fire during the olympics. I heard they have to pay 27b dollars as compensation.

Esplanade 06th June 2009

Went on a visit to Esplanade. Ended up helping many pple take photos with their compacts within my short 15 mins there. I was handed sticky cameras and I felt disgusted.

Eventually I took quite a lot of photos, but I ended up only with 4. The rest, cannot make it. So here are the 4 pics!
