The new China Central Television headquarters building is seen in Beijing Thursday July 17, 2008. The building consists of two angled towers connected at the top to form a continuous loop of horizontal and vertical sections. The spectacular 230 meter (755 foot) building, one of Beijing's tallest, will house more than 10,000 staff. The building is one of a series of landmarks, notable for their futuristic design, that will greet visitors to the Olympics Games, which open Aug. 8.

O! Good comparison! At first thought it was the removed centre of the foreground building. :beaten: Then I realized it's part of another building.

Beijing really doesn't have tall buildings, but they have some bizarre ones. I took pics of some of the weirder buildings. When I was there they were doing construction EVERYWHERE and I was doubtful they'd make the Olympic deadline.
