Beijing Capital Terminal 3 takes shape

[S V Choong 4]

Existing Beijing Capital Terminal 1 and 2 has nothing to shout about, compared to many new Asian airports (many which are best in the world).

 

Beijing Terminal 2 - international and domestic

Just wait till you see the following pics..... Giant Terminal 3 takes shape for 2008 Olympics. It is designed by Sir Norman Foster, same guy who designed Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok.

Thanks Fairul, this will put Bangkok's new Suvarnabhumi to shame (A quote that sounds so arrogant yet familiar)

i like suvarnabhumi design..but the gates really let me down..just wish that the airport use the glasses kinda gate..not the old fashion gate that u can see at Kuching Airport old terminal..

I was hoping that the new upcoming Dubai Jabir Ali International has a building look more like this.

Well it's China, anything is possible. You're talking about the world's most populous nation.

Imagine if the income level of the mainlanders rise to the level which equals Hong Kong. This Terminal 3 is still not enough for Beijing.

Well, China could be the most powerful nation in future, so pretty much eveything will be increase in any term, so the airport expantion is possible
