BAKU (AZERBAIJAN): Nestled at the intersection of East and West, Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, is a melting pot of architectural treasures, with many drawing inspiration from classical Greek and Roman designs as well as those incorporating Islamic and Asian influences.
Chinese architectural elements, however, are notably absent across the cityscape that dates back centuries. The same cannot be said for Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), with makers such as BYD and Nio recently announcing their intentions to enter the local market.
