China is really Booming! Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to be the
case in Beijing, not if you count height at least. For the Olympics
2008 Sports complex is popping up all over the place, one more extravagant
then the other but we skyscraper addicts get to cope with this tower,
the China World Trade Center. Tower III to be specific. No Shanghai
height, but kind a sleak and somehow remind me of Two International
Finance Centre in Hong Kong although different architects. ( Two International
Finance Centre is designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates Architects ).
