Olympic Stadium 2008


As my stay in Beijing is numbered, I try to visit as many interesting and memorable sites as possible within the next few days. Obviously one of them is the Olympic Stadium. It is located at 北辰区, north east of BJ city. It looks like a bird nest from outside and thus it is called 鸟巢 in mandarin. There is a lot of constructions going on around this area and most of them are related to olympic. The nearby olympic pool is built in the building which has the shape like the blue water bubble. It has the under ground water storage tank which stores the rain water collected from the roof. It's brilliant idea as it rarely rains in BJ.
