CCTV Headquarters

CCTV Headquarters locates CBD in the three rings of Beijing with a vast area around 462 acres, 234 meters high which contains main buildings, television culture center, service buildings, and celebration square. It was designed and constructed by Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren of OMA and selected by Times as one of top ten architectural world wonders in 2007 for its avant-garde shapes, in comparison with Bird’s Nest and Linked Hybrid. Besides, it also won the best skyscraper building in the world.

 

It cost around 0.8 billion dollars to conquer its structural challenges that the main buildings should be twisted 6 degrees towards inside and connected with an overhanging cantilever above the height of 163 meters. The glasses on the buildings used the irregular geometrical patterns to reduce buildings pressures which look like a twisted donut. Locals called it Dakucha, literally means "big pants". 

 

Groundbreaking took place in 2004 and finished in 2009. However, it was massively reconstructed after a great fire until finished in 2012. Now it's a popular city landmark among other surrounding financial buildings. 


The Place

The Place is the prosperous and glitzy CBD area closing to other top apartments and office buildings like Guomao and Kerry Center. It is a mixture of gourmet, entertainment, space art and fashionable brands. It has a huge projection screen on the ceiling which is the third biggest LED in the world following Suzhou and Las Vegas. However, it used the most advanced technology, it was considered as the No.1 LED technically. When the sky gets dark, the huge screen lights up and you can see rolling videos and enjoy different backgrounds which seems like a dreamy wonderland.

 

For visitors who love beauty, there are many good stores to visit: MAC, Zara, H&M, New Balance, Paul Frank, California Fitness, Guess, Adolfo Dominguez etc. It also has plenty of cafes and restaurants for hanging out.  


Tiananmen Square

  The Tiananmen Square on the north to south axis is at the center of Beijing city. It's the largest square in the world, encompassing an area of 14 hectares, and measuring 865 meters north to south, and 500 and 370 meters east to west on the northern and southern ends respectively.

      The Five-Star Red Flag flutters high above the mid-point of the square's north side. Everyday,  at dawn and dusk, the Guards march in unison to the foot of the flagstaff to hoist or lower the National Flag, saluted with eyes by the on-lookers.

  The Monument to the People's Heroes towers over the center of the square. To its south lies Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall. The Chinese Revolutionary Museum and the Chinese History Museum stand to the east of the square, the Great Hall of the People to the west and the magnificent Heavenly Peace Gate Tower to the north. The Tower is adjoined on its left side by the Zhongshan Park and on the right side by the Working People's Palace of Culture. Opposite the tower in the far south is the Zhengyang Gate Tower. These fine and unique buildings arranged in perfect harmony add greater beauty and grandeur to the Tianmen Square.

  The Tiananmen Square is the people's square, where grand state ceremonies are held on important occasions.


Houhai Lake

  Located in the southwest of the Drum Tower in beautiful surroundings, Houhai Lake has a history of about 700 years in the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368). It assumed its present name in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Strolling along its shoreline, the visitor can appreciate the lake’s glimmering blue water, its graceful weeping willows, its twisting railings and the flower-and-tree-covered central island. Pleasure boats are available for rowing and the banks are amply provided with shady places to rest. A swimming area in the lake is open every summer.

Yes everything was spectacular and fascinating very professional and prompt services. There were beautiful places to explore and to see in the 4 hours that we had. The comfort and beauty of the China was incredible, The history, culture and way of life of the local people we bumped into during the layover was beyond our expectations. Hiking on the Great wall after driving through a small remote countryside was very relaxing and rejuvenating. It was the best trip ever to experience on a few hours.

We had not previously used a travel agency for touring. The crew including the driver and tour guide were really funny, friendly and knowledgeable. Despite having limited time we still had free time allowing for shopping and grabbing a meal and drinks. Highly recommend this layover in Beijing.

Booking from South Africa on ChinaTour.net was so quick and easy, however I had to mail customer service as I had not received my confirmation within the 48 hours that the original mail had stated. Once done I received confirmation for all my train and internal flights within 20 minutes of sending the mail. I would highly recommend this website for booking trips through China and i will use it again in future.

Well worth it! Jenny was really nice and incredibly helpful with the immigration process after airport personnel originally escorted to the wrong area and didn’t want to allow leaving the airport. She takes great photos! Beautiful views and fun to take the toboggan down. Wasn’t too crowded on this day - and definitely worth doing with a 7 hour layover. Nice car and driver too.
