Never ending construction at the site of the airportBeijing Capital International Airport, 北京首都国际机场; is the main international airport of China. It is located 32 km from Beijing's city center. The airport's code is PEK and is the worlds' bussiest aiport. It is a hub for Star Alliance and main stop for Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS).
It is the largest covered structure on Earth and is designed by esteemed architect Sir Norman Foster. This massive structure was built in just four years. Terminal 3 itself would be the largest airport in the world if it stood alone; it is larger than Heathrow's five terminals combined.
Its area is approximately 1.3 million square metres, mostly under one roof. The first building to break the one million square meter barrier, it will accommodate an estimated 50 million passengers per annum by 2020.
This new terminal offers an unparalleled traveling experience, not only technologically, but also in terms of operational efficiency, passenger comfort and access to natural light.
Natural light, which is a great feeling compared to airport where this option is missing and one end-up being tired
