Around the park are sculptures that give an arty feel as you walk along the avenue from the national stadium to the Olympic Forest
When building the Olympic Park, the city decided to create a greenspace with all the land that they had to move. The result is a really great inner city get away that makes you feel as though you really are in the forest.
Dogs seem to be common pets in Beijing. Residents have to get a permit for them and only small dogs are allowed. Bigger dogs require more money to keep and pet food is very expensive. Most dogs are off their leash and are even dressed up against the cold.
We had a group tour of the park and then lunch. Afterwards, no one wanted to stay to see the park at night, so I was on my own for the next 4+ hours.
The olympic mascots are a great marketing tool as they are well loved by everyone. These guys even posed with me.
These guys were in suits and were about to perform a dance to some songs and to the delight of the crowd.
