Beijing Photos I

The new Beijing Olympic Stadium.

This was the closest anyone could get to the spanking new stadium in Beijing. Picture quality was not satisfactory due to the haze/fog.

Nicknamed "The Nest", the stadium will be the venue for the opening ceremony on 8th August 2008.



The new Beijing International Airport from the air.

This photo was taken on 15 April 2007 as the plane took off from the existing airport.
The new airport is being built by the Chinese government in time for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and will be the world's biggest, bigger than all the terminals in Heathrow combined, according to its British architect, Lord Foster.
