As an ancient city with a history of over 800 years, Beijing still retains remarkable vigor, the secret of which is the harmonious integration that has taken place along its Central Axis. In episode 3, a foreign architect who participated in the Beijing Olympics and acted as an adviser on Beijing’s urban planning projects shares, from his own experience and understanding of the city, how the Central Axis integrates different people, different periods and different cultures, and bridges tradition and modernity, as well as China with the rest of the world, allowing them to embrace one another and develop together.
