    Olympic Park

    In 2008, the remarkable 29th Olympic Game was held in Beijing successfully. As the game site, the Olympic Park attracted the whole world’s eyes. It sat at the north end of the axis of the metropolis. The axis, the most important cultural vein of the city, masterly presents a blend of urban artificial sights with natural scenery. The most famous and beautiful buildings in the park are the National Stadium and the National Aquatics Center. The National Stadium is also called “The Bird’s Nest” due to its outlook.
