Imagine strolling through a district where glass skyscrapers pierce the clouds 🏙️, while whispers of Beijing’s 3,000-year history linger in hidden courtyards. That’s the magic of the city’s Central Business District (CBD), where ambition and tradition collide like a modern-day ‘Game of Thrones’ (minus the dragons 🐉).
Join CGTN’s Li Zhao on a #CityWalk that’s part time-travel, part tech safari. Watch startup founders brainstorm over boba tea 🧋 in shadowy alleys, then turn a corner to find Ming-era stone lions guarding corporate HQs. Pro tip: Sunset here isn’t just golden hour—it’s when the 🏯 Forbidden City’s glow meets LED billboards in a lightshow that’d make Marvel’s Shang-Chi jealous.
Why care? This 4.4 sq km zone handles more $$$ than some countries 💸, yet still hosts mooncake festivals under the China Zun tower. It’s where TikTok trends get boardroom approvals before lunch. For global hustlers and culture nerds alike, Beijing’s CBD is the ultimate FOMO antidote.
