Beijing's tallest building topped offPosted by Banyue, October 30, 2007 5:00 PM
The top headline in The Beijing News announces that property management companies must issue an annual service quality report. This is part of a new set of regulations from the Beijing Municipal Construction Committee, which is currently soliciting reactions from the public. The regulations also include a rule that requires management companies to respond to clients' requests within two days. The second headline tells of the approval of a proposal for Line 6 of the Beijing subway system. According to the article, the new line, given the go-ahead by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning yesterday, starts from Wulu Station in Haidian District and goes east along Linglong Road, Sanlihe Road, and North Chaoyang Road, before arriving at East Xiaoying Station. The front page picture shows Beijing's tallest skyscraper, the World Trade Center Tower 3, which was capped yesterday at 74 floors. The building stands 330 meters tall. Other headlines:

Comments on Beijing's tallest building topped off
North Chaoyang Road... I think they called it Chaoyang North Road. Also, East Xiaoying Station... Xiaoying East Station.
They used to call it N.CHAOYANG Rd, but now, it's CHAOYANG North Rd instead.
Odd stuff...
