The most unforgettable yet easily overlooked scenery
Now, street photography has a fancy name "Citywalk", just like how the business office area around Guomao is commonly referred to as CBD. Every day, people come and go, busy with their lives. I believe many people have a few photos of the CBD in their phones. If you work and live in Beijing, the Beijing CBD area might be the most easily overlooked yet unforgettable citywalk route.
🚶♂️ Route order: Guomao Subway Station Exit A → China World Trade Center Tower 3 → Sunshine Insurance Financial Center → Samsung Tower → Taikang Group Tower → China World Trade Center Phase 3 → CITIC Tower (China Zun) → Guanghua Road → CCTV Headquarters → Jintai Xizhao Subway Station Exit C
🧭 Total distance: 2 kilometers (1-2 hours for photo taking)
✅ China Zun, standing at 528 meters tall, is a landmark building in Beijing. It can be photographed from many angles; if the weather is clear and visibility is high, you can capture photos of China Zun from any location in the city.
✅ The China World Mall, China Hotel, and the new China World Mall, along with China World Trade Center Tower B, form a group of buildings at the northwest corner of the Guomao Bridge on the East Third Ring Road.
✅ Beijing's CBD is still growing taller. The red and yellow cranes under the blue sky in the core area under construction make for great photos.
✅ The panda KaoKao really can lean on anything; he can lean on any building in the CBD area.
✅ China Zun is the tallest building in Beijing, a landmark, and the pinnacle of office buildings, unparalleled.
✅ Encountering the "spidermen" cleaning the external glass curtain wall of China Zun, workers who are still working hard during the May Day holiday.
✅ The trees around the CCTV Headquarters have turned green, and the branches of the dead tree at the subway entrance are very picturesque.
✅ The design of the CCTV Headquarters is full of artistic and futuristic sense, and it also looks like a picture frame.

Guomao
You must never go to these places in Guomao CBD!! Beijing CBD Guomao, you definitely have to check it out.
Taking the subway Line 1 and Line 10 to transfer, you can reach Guomao Station Exit E and head straight to the Guomao South Area, which is truly a paradise for girls, with luxury stores, hat shops, and everything you could want. Sisters who love shopping, hurry up!
Guomao has North Area, Central Area, and South Area, their B1 is interconnected, and the Central Area is much smaller than the North and South Areas. Personally, I suggest you take a look at the skating rink inside and then head to the North Area!
In the North Area of Guomao, there are many toy stores, including LEGO and such, and most importantly, there is a Xinhua Bookstore at B2, which is very large and quiet. I browsed books there for an hour, feeling like I was in a Harry Potter world.
After reading, you can take the elevator straight up to the 6th-floor terrace to see the 'Big Pants' and the 'Three-Piece Set' (China Zun, Samsung, Zhong Show). It's truly breathtaking! You get the feeling of the capital of China, and the Guomao Bridge is in the sky! It feels like tunneling through the air. In the evening, sisters who like to take photos and check in can rest assured to go to the 'Big Pants' and the 'Three-Piece Set' after 9 pm!
