This picture was taken at the Beijing Urban Planning Center, it is a museum that we visited during our "Tiananmen Trifecta" tour of Beijing. What you are looking at is a HUGE model of the city laid out on the floor. Beijing is a massive urban sprawl city, and the sixth ring road is currently under construction on the outskirts (BFSU, my school, is located on the West 3rd ring road). Most of what is within the 3rd and 4th ring roads was mapped out on the flour in 3D models and then beyond the 3D buildings the city plan continued under your feet in aerial pictures, so it felt like you were Godzilla stepping on the streets of Beijing. So cool!!! And every 30 minutes or so there was a "laser lights" show where the over head lighting dimmed and the streets and buildings of Beijing lit up different colors timed to music.
