The nearly finished China's National Grand Theater looks really like an egg when it is reflected in the pooled water of man-made pond surrounding the ellipsoid shell during a recent anti-leakage test.The theater, which contains several concert halls and opera houses, has come under criticism from Chinese architects for its surreal look and hefty price tag (2,688,000,000 Yuan).Update: After five years of construction, the enclosures around the National Grand Theater were removed on June 15, 2007, to give the public a clear view of the magnificent building. link
When night falls, the 506 lights equipped over the surface of the "egg" will make it a magnificent spectacle in the city center. link
