Olympics-Bird's eye view from China - Part 2

By goodluck

Hello, this is second set of pictures from China. This time, I focused more on stadiums as well as common people enjoying Olympic Games.

This is the Bird’s Nest stadium, where Opening ceremony was held and closing ceremony WILL be held.

Bird’s Nest stadium and Water Cube, where all swimming competitions are held, at night. The blue and yellow stadiums are perfect foil to each other. I love the night scene.

This is the entire Beijing Metro rail system. If any QLer come to China, they should not be lost in City’s underground system. Sorry that they are all in Chinese… 

This is the Tianamen Square, all decorated with flowers, suitable for families and sports enthusiasts alike. I am surprised at the change that has been witnessed here…

Another part of Tianamen Square, a little more later in the evening. Sorry I could not take pictures with more lights on. I will try them next time.

This is one of cute Chinese babies I met at the Square. I just could not get enough of him. I clicked a few pictures of him, different angles.

The baby, another picture…

And another…

Another view of the garden…

Some fun activities at the park…
