Actually the Meridian Gate (午门) is the first entrance to the Forbidden City, while Tian'anmen was the entrance to the Imperial City, within which the Forbidden City was located. Tian'anmen is widely used as a Chinese national symbol.

According to the U.S. Embassy to China, the country will be building 108 new airports between 2004 and 2009 -- including what will be the world's largest: the Beijing International Airport, designed by Foster & Partners. Set to open at the end of 2007, in time for the Beijing Olympics in 2008, the airport terminal will cover more than 1 million square meters, giving it a bigger footprint than the Pentagon.
It's designed to handle 43 million passengers a year initially and 55 million by 2015, figures that will probably push the new facility into the ranks of the top 10 busiest airports, going by the 2004 numbers from the Airports Council International. Given the scale and traffic, Foster & Partners focused on the traveler's experience, making sure that walking distances are short, for instance.
Building on Foster's experience designing Hong Kong 's new mega-airport, the massive Chek Lap Kok, the sprawling Beijing terminal is housed under a single roof. To help passengers distinguish between different sections of the vast space, skylights cast different shades of yellow and red light across walls -- a subtle but innovative navigational aid. The architects also kept sustainability in mind: An environmental-control system reduces carbon emissions, and skylights situated on a south-east axis lessen solar heat, keeping the building cool.

Beijing's Pheonix Media Center embodies a Möbius strip concept in its design. According to Architect Shao Weiping, the design of the building resembles DNA-like double helix that has been wrapped into a loop, and the circular contours of the Phoenix complex echo the yin-yang symbol of ancient Chinese philosophy.
The building won the 2017 Outstanding Structure Award by the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering.
