Beijing Olympic Park
Overview
Beijing Olympic Park (Bird’s Nest) is a big oxygen bar of the city. Beijing Olympic Park will sit 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 Olympic Park as planned is to be an expansion on the basis of an extension from the axis to the north during the 11th Asian Games in 1990. It will play an important role in completing the construction of the northern part of the axis. Being at an end of the axis, it will form an imposing sight of urban construction during the expansion, with the World Trade Center projected as the centerpiece of architecture gracing the ground.
To build the Olympic Park on the axis with the most cultural characteristics of the city, beyond doubt, is another reflection of "Humanistic Olympics". Besides, some events such as "marathon", "Iron man" and "beach volleyball" will be held in the inner city for a large attendance of people.
