China Millennium Monument:
The Monument is a grand structure ingeniously combining the spirit of traditional Chinese culture with modern architectural art, and integrating architecture, landscaping, sculpture, mural painting, and various other art forms. It will not only be an eternal memory of the turn of the millennium, but also serve as a centre for cultural, artistic, and scientific exhibitions both at home and abroad, as well as an inspiration in patriotism.
CCTV Tower:
The CCTV tower is one of the modern wonders of Beijing. If this were any less of a city, with fewer attractions, the tower would feature heavily in any tourist promotions. As it is, there are so many things to see in Beijing, especially of historical and cultural interest, the poor old tower tends to get overlooked. We however, do think it is worth a visit, especially if you're stuck in Beijing and not particularly interested in all things ancient.
