Cost to
build: US$600 million
Completion
date: January 2008

A building in the complex was badly damaged during a fire that was ignited by
fireworks.
Reportedly
nicknamed "big boxer shorts" by a Beijing taxi driver, the CCTV
headquarters look like no other building.
Comprising
a continuous loop of six horizontal and vertical sections, the design
represents a running stream of “qi” in the building.
Given
China’s monumental economic ambitions, the 234-meter-high structure is
considered on the short side for a skyscraper.
But its light gray curtain of glass blends in
perfectly with the notoriously misty skyline of Beijing, earning this
one-of-a-kind skyscraper two awards at the annual.
Life is like a ferris wheel. One minute you're on top, the next you're at the bottom. Just stay in your seat, enjoy the ride, and hang on until you reach the top again.
