The 'TRON' building and its burnt out cousin


We're staying a couple of blocks from China's main TV headquarters, which, in the current haze, looks like something out of a Philip K. Dick novel, only re-imagined to be included in the gloom of a TRON world.

Next to it however is the burnt out shell that never opened. When I asked about it at dinner tonight, local urban legends abound. One irrefutable fact remains. It went up like a firecracker last Chinese New Year.
