Beijing in 2008 – The city with skyscrapers next to ancient temples. The affluent young Chinese begin their day in a business suit with a coffee at Starbucks; meanwhile their grandparents begin the day with the traditional ritual of shadow boxing in the nearby park. Beijing is a city defined by contradictions and superlatives – and an end to its growth is nowhere in sight. The best architects in the world are in line waiting for projects in this city of sheer creativity and diminishing space. Every week it seems there is a new bar, restaurant, or hotel. In other words: Beijing is a city where you can do nothing but discover!
