E had the great idea of visiting the Beijing town planning exhibition centre over the Christmas break. On the face of it, this doesn't sound like the most thrilling thing to do. But on the third floor we found what we'd come to see: the incredible town-planning model of Beijing that was put on display in 2006.
Beautifully lit and stunning in scale, it's hard to do justice to the model in pictures. Plus, it was quite dark in the display room which made it hard to get a steady focus. Anyway, I hope these three give you some idea of how incredible it is. The first is a view from the south-west corner of Beijing; the second is the view from the north-west towards the city centre; and the third is of the photo-etched tiles that are used to illustrate the distant suburbs.
