A copy of traditional courtyard house in the Olympic Park.

Linglong Tower was the boardcasting tower for the game, it is about 132 meters high.

Bird Nest, offically as National Stadium. A panaroma view of its inside you can find Here.

Fencing Hall of National Convention Center, as we can konw from its name, it is transforming into a convention place.

Some more Chinese element.

A view to the Olympic Forest Park, it is very huge, take a tour of it on foot is impossible, it is free to visit, electric vehicles provided at the south part of the park, ticket costs 20 yuan.

A photo of the lake and the hill. The hill locates at the axis of Beijing as well, I am going to climb up that hill, but how to get across the water is a problem, I have to go right from here, and it takes quite a long distance before I found a bridge.

A View to the north part of this park, it is too big, cannot go that far.

A View of the lake.

A view to the Bird Nest and Linglong Tower.

The best way to visit here is subway, you can transfer from Beitucheng Station on Line 10 to the Olympic Branch, there are only 3 stops on this line:

1. Aoting Zhongxin Station (if you want to take pictures all the way from the entrance to the north), you will need to get off at this stop.
2. Olympic Park Station, drop you off just in the center of the main venues, very close to the Water Cube, and the Bird Nest.
3. Olympic Forest Station, that is the end of this line, drop you off at the entrance of the Olympic Forest Park, the park is free to visit, closed at 5 PM.
