Police are telling camera-happy social media snappers to stay away from the newly opened Beijing Daxing International Airport because they are a safety risk to travellers, state broadcaster CCTV said on Oct 4.

The airport, which was officially opened by Chinese President Xi Jinping two weeks ago, has become a magnet for thousands of people wanting to take photos inside and outside the huge star-shaped building.
