The construction of the Beijing Daxing International Airport is set to commence in September and is expected to be completed in 2019.
According to China Radio International, a blueprint of the construction site shows a futuristic appeal mixed with a minimalist design and architecture. Many who have seen the airport's design have said it is unique. At least one person has said the design resembles a vagina.

The airport would be one of China's grandest edifice. It includes seven run ways that can accommodate 100 million tourist, visitors, and passengers annually. The airport would have a bullet train platform and a train station. Beijing Daxing International Airport would be the first airport in the world to have its own bullet train.
The train station will occupy the underground level of the airport, and would allow people to travel between Beijing and Kowloon at an estimated time of only 30 minutes.
The air haven and terminal of the Beijing Daxing International Airport will be the largest in the world upon its completion in three years. The terminal will be a 5-storey building which will be divided into two levels for departures, another two levels for arrivals, and the abovementioned underground level for the bullet train terminal.
