Traditional factors such as floors, walls and doors disappeared in the building structure. The four-layer stereoscopic image playing hall can play the city simulation film and wide screen film realized by virtual reality technology. At present, it plays the immortal city, which is a brief history of Beijing's capital construction in 850 years. The screen height is 5.8 meters, and the arc length is 20 meters. This model is located in the urban model planning exhibition area of 1300 square meters on the third floor, and is made at a ratio of 1 to 750.

This model records the urban planning of Beijing with zhongaxial road and Chang'an Street as the two axes, CBD CBD CBD, Zhongguancun and Olympic Park as the core. The surrounding area of the model is covered with toughened glass floor made of aerial photos of Beijing city features.

Beijing Planning Exhibition Hall not only records Beijing's urban construction and academic exchanges, but also serves as an important medium for the public to participate in urban planning and promote "Sunshine Planning" There are four ways to involve the public in the planning process of a city.
