Flickr Picks – Beijing International Airport

flibblesan posted some photos of the Beijing International Airport:

…some great shots of the Beijing International Airport. I’ve written about the world’s biggest airport terminal before and I have a half written post somewhere about my personal experience at the airport.

The airport is truly fantastic. The size is unbelievable – it’s huge! The photos can’t quite capture just how big it is. There’s nothing quite like the moment you walk into it for the first time. And I really love that ceiling.

The decorations are first class, as can be seen in the photos of the fountain and the sculpture with dragons (or are they lions) holding up the globe. I guess that symbolic of where the new China sees itself being.

Anyway, I’ll have to find that draft post on the Beijing International Airport and finish it off.
