About the Olympic Stadium

We are ending our stay in Beijing with another beautiful day here, marvelous weather and a trip to the Great Wall of China.

On the way to the Great Wall we had the opportunity to see the new Olympics Stadium in the process of being built, one called the Birds Nest as its shape looks like one and the other being the Stadium Pool. In addition there is a huge number of apartment buildings being built and trees are plated all around the city in large numbers which was great to see.

One of the things that was amazing is that none of the workers around here that lay brick, work, on the buildings and roads use any kind of power tools. Everyone we saw was using regular hand tools and everything is done by hand. The people of China do work very hard there is no doubt about that and you can tell every one is proud of what they do.
