Beijing Daxing International, which officially opened in September 2019 after 5 years of construction, is the largest airport in China and has the world’s biggest airport terminal. It is also the first to feature double-deck arrival and departure lounges and an underground high-speed rail service. Engineering highlights include a world-class seismic base isolation system, a long-span irregular curved node truss structure, a glazed roof with 12 800 panes, eight hyperboloid C-shaped columns as the main load-bearing elements and multiple energy-saving systems.
