Beijing Planning Exhibition Hall kicks off free Olympic venue photo gallery

(BEIJING, December 03) -- The "Bird's Nest," the "Water Cube," the Olympic Green, the Olympic Village…. As of Sunday, the public has overall visual access to more than thirty Olympic venues built in Beijing.

A month-long, free exhibition of the Beijing Olympic venues vividly displays the Olympic venues through photos, sand tables, and literal descriptions.

On the opening day of the exhibition, a bubble-covered model of the National Aquatics Center especially caught the interest of visitors. Dubbed the "Water Cube," the venue was dressed with a transparent ETFE membrane.
