Bob's apartment building on Dongsanhuan Middle Road, Chaoyang District, on the east side of Beijing.
The China television, CCTV building. And to its left here, an office building near the CCTV HQ in which someone unwisely set off the fireworks inside. The matter is being argued with the insurance company.
The Millennium Hotel looking east of Beijing.
