With the Tiananmen Square to its east, the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), with its novel and avant-garde shape, is an architecture combining tradition and modernity, as well as romance and reality. It is not only an important cultural facility, but also a unique landscape in Beijing. Whenever night comes, surrounded by lights and water, the NCPA is full of subtle and unique artistic charm.
