I traveled through Beijing's futuristic new airport, which is shaped like a starfish and is the biggest single terminal in the world. Here's what it was like.

It's not entirely clear if they were only there for the PRC's 70th anniversary or a permanent fixture.

I then headed up to the fifth and highest floor, which serves as a platform for travelers to survey the entire airport.I decided to explore some of the restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Many of them are famous fast food chains and cafes — I saw at least three Starbucks stores, two Costa Coffees, as well as their Chinese rival Luckin Coffee.I chose to go for "The Dining Room," which looked the most crowded from the outside. It had an open kitchen where cooks were hard at work.

I ordered the country's famous xiaolongbao, a small dumpling filled with meat and soup. I went for these traditional pork ones ...... as well as these black truffle ones, which I have never seen in my four years of living in China. The two dishes cost 72 yuan in total.After my meal, I decided to walk around a bit more. There were a lot of patriotic signs on show.This sculpture was particularly popular among travelers. The Chinese characters in the middle say "Beijing, central axis.

Free water dispensers were pretty much everywhere. It gave two options: warm water and boiling water. Chinese medicine suggests that cold is harmful for the body, so you won't be seeing any icy cold water here.By this point, it was time to make my way to my gate. I took my carry-on luggage through the security screening, which had special trays equipped with RFID chips. There was also a row of cameras along the conveyor belt to photograph passengers with their luggage.

After the security check I entered the domestic departures hall — the center of the airport's giant "starfish" design.Here's what it looks like from the outside. The entrance to the departures hall is in the center, and the gates are at the tip of the six starfish "arms."The departures hall boasts giant windows, through which sunlight seeps and you can watch planes arriving and departing.
