Another spectacular new piece of Beijing architecture, the Feng Shui compliant Terminal 3 is the creation of Britain's Norman Foster. With Chinese red columns and a muted gold roof it evokes traditional Chinese colors in a modern design. Looking at the airport from above, with raised scales on its back and long body it looks like a flying dragon, especially with free drinks on the flight over. The terminal is oriented North-South to help incoming passengers get oriented and a system of skylights face southeast to maximize sunshine.
