In Chaoyang District, not far from the 798 art district, three unique, asymmetrical, mixed-use skyscrapers have been erected. Their design is inspired by the shape of mountain ranges. The constructions, surrounded by a newly implemented large public park, contain retail shops, apartments and offices.The buildings are a legacy of Zaha Hadid, who sadly passed away in 2016, but left her individual artistic mark in the buildings. Hadid also designed Galaxy SOHO in Beijing and a few other prominent buildings in Chengdu, Guangzhou, and Shanghai.
