The CCTV Headquarters, located in Beijing’s central business district, is an architectural marvel designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. This uniquely shaped skyscraper, often referred to as ‘Big Pants’ by locals, appears to defy gravity with its distinctive looped structure. The building’s striking design and bold geometry make it a standout feature of the city skyline. Visitors can admire the innovative architecture and explore the surrounding area, which offers a blend of modern and traditional Chinese elements.
