Nothing epitomizes the combined hopes and dreams of Beijingers than the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games. Under the ¡°One World, One Dream¡± slogan, a proud city is daily changing its entire infrastructure and aesthetic presentation. New buildings and museums open almost daily, while old structures and temples are being lovingly renovated. The city is becoming a showcase for a new, more modern China and should leave a lasting, positive image in the minds of those who attend the Olympic Games, visit the city or those who view city scenes on television worldwide.

The focus of the Games will be the 1,135-hectare Olympic Green in the north of the city. This is where the architecturally daring National Stadium (¡°Bird¡±s Nest), the futuristic Aquatics Centre (¡°Watercube¡±), the Olympic Village and the LED-clad Digital Beijing building are currently taking shape.
