The stunning new Beijing airport

This is the Beijing Capital International Airport. It is the world's largest airport building and the centerpiece of China's multi-billion-dollar infrastructure boom and provides a glimpse into China's vision of 21st-century air travel.

The futuristic airport has been built in preparation for the millions who are likely to visit China for the Olympic Games and to meet the country's booming air traffic.
