Hello Crystal,
My wife and I would like to tell you that we had a really good tour to see the Terracotta Warriors while on our Holiday in China. Would you please extend our thanks to the Excellent Guide Lu Yan Ping ( Lu Lu) in Xian. Also while in Beijing we believe that Mr Zhong guo ping ( English Name: Edward ) also working for your company should recieve praise for guiding us to The Great Wall.

Tour Review:
Enjoy the amazing new landmarks of Olympic Beijing. A bike is the best way to go around and see the huge area with unique architectures. You can feel the fast changing Beijing city. the National Stadium (nest) for its outside sightseeing. Situted at the Olympic Green, it has a floor space of 258,000 sq meters. The National Stadium in Beijing is the main stadium for the 2008 Olympic Games. It is often dubbed the "bird's nest" because of its featuring grid formation. The twig-like structure and the bowl-shaped roof are the masterpiece of the project. It is designed by Herzog and DeMeuron. The most unique feature of the structure is its "cushion" system which can fill the spaces within the building's facade to regulate wind, weather, and sunlight. It can accommodate 91,000 visitors and will host the opening and closing ceremonies, the track and field competitions and the football finals during the 2008 Olympic Games.
After the National Stadium ( nest ), move on to National Swimming Center ( Water Cube ) nearby for outside look. It is designed by the design consortium composed of the China State Construction Engineering Corporation, China State Construction International (Shenzhen) Design Co Ltd, PTW Architects (Australia) and Ove Arup (Australia). The National Swimming Center will be the only important Olympic venue that is built by donations from compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao. It has a total floor space of 50,000 square meters with a seating capacity of 17,000. The whole project costs about US$100 million. The center will be used for swimming, diving, synchronized swimming and water-polo games during the Olympic Games 2008. After the games, the center will turn into a large water recreational center open to the public. It is dubbed "cube" because of its semi-transparent "bubbles" spread out all over its surface with a shape very similar to the structure of "H2O".
