A piece of Beijing architecture, the Feng Shui compliant Terminal 3. It was created by Britain's Norman Foster. It evokes traditional Chinese colors in a modern design. Opened in March 2008, ten thousand villagers had to be relocated from the area surrounding Terminal 3. Built in 3 1/2 years using 50, 000 workers, a half million tonnes of steel and two million tonnes of concrete it extends for almost three kilometers. It is six times larger than Heathrow's new T5. It mixes modern architecture with a touch of traditional architecture.
