Today, we are continuing our exploration of rooftops and terraces in Beijing. After showcasing locations around Sanlitun, the hutongs, and the Liangma River, we now focus on the CBD.
**Xun Terrace**
The newest addition to our list, Xun Terrace, opened earlier this year. Situated on the 25th floor of an office building near the Kerry Centre, it offers stunning views of some of the city's iconic skyscrapers. The terrace has a spacious layout with a stylish blue color scheme complemented by an abundance of flowers, creating a touch of nature in the area. In terms of food, they serve various Western dishes, including pasta, pizza, and hearty mains. For beverages, there's a selection of beers on tap and in bottles, wine, cocktails, coffee, and soft drinks.
