The office buildings in the Xizhimen area of Beijing are a fairly notable landmark.

Accordint to Wikipedia’s Xizhimen entry:

formerly a gate in the Beijing city wall and is now the name of a transportation node in Beijing. The gate formerly was the entrance of drinking water for the Emperor, coming from the Jade Spring Hills to the west of Beijing. The gate itself was demolished in 1969.

The 2nd Ring Road currently links with Xizhimen Outer Street, which has recently been transformed into a city express road, linking the western 2nd Ring Road via Beijing Zoo to the 3rd Ring Road. A triple-arched highrise building is a noticeable landmark at the intersection.

It’s also has two underground stations (one for line2 and one for line 13) that are close together, but not actually connected.

Also of note in the photo are the ubiquitous Beijing taxis, which every visitor to Beijing is probably familiar with.
