Beijing is bustling with activities. You can see posters such as this in the subway and the 5 cute Olympic mascots 福娃 in souvenirs shops.
With the Summer Olympics just around the corner, there are two more new attractions for people to sight see when in Beijing. One being the Olympic stadium, also known as the bird nest 鸟巢 because of its design and the National Aquatics Center 水一方.

My poorly taken shot of the aquatic center, didnt bring my digital camera lah.

The construction of the stadium has been completed but security was tight, there were fences around it so was not able to get up close to it. The surrounding area was abit messy, there are still some pending roads works to be done.

With the stadium and the aquatic center side by side, it really looks quite nice:
This building stands opposite the stadium and the aquatic center, the top looks like a dragon's head, not sure if its some hotel or offices. Might be the Olympic village where all the athletes stay, looks quite posh.
