Tour detailes:
Pick up from your hotel in Beijing and take either subway or taxi to the Beijing Olympic Green ( the transportation fee will be on your own ). First visit the exterior National Stadium ( bird's nest). The stadium is hosting the main track and field Football, and final competitions for the 2008 Summer Olympics, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies. 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. Then walk to the National Aquatics Center (the Water Cube) nearby for its outside visit. 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 is 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 was 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". Finally walk or take the subway to the Olympic Forest Park. The Beijing Olympic Park has an area of 680 hectares, designed to accommodate tennis, archery and hockey events during the 2008 Olympic Games. Now it is a great public park with an open air theatre, a lake, and a sophisticated system for bubbling air into the water for purification. Service ends and return to your hotel on your own.
