Picture of the Day - Beijing Performing Arts Center

Beijing Performing Arts Center. To get into the domed part of the building you enter from below. The water in front of the center is actually part of the roof of the entry way underneath. Acoustics inside the center are great and they do jam cell-phones to prevent the interruption of concerts.
