Beijing Biz Trip May 2011 Day 4 P1

Hello! Greetings from BKK - jet off yesterday late evening & was pleasantly surprised to find that 2 of my friends are currently in BKK too! Hopefully able to meet up with them :) Anyway, back to Beijing trip, day 4!

Breakfast to start the day ~

Meeting ended early than expected and with the limited time I have, it's time to visit another attraction~

Cab journey to the destination

Half way there!

The iconic landmark

have to pass through security to enter the park

The Ling Long Pagoda, also known as the Ling Long Tower houses a part of the International Broadcast Centre. It is located near the Olympic Cauldron. The tower contains 6 pods with open space in between, with the top pod displaying the Olympic rings. During the games, some international broadcast studios are located in the pods of the tower, offering skyline views as backdrops of Olympic broadcasts.

The Beijing National Indoor Stadium is also nicknamed as the Fan, due to its resemblance to a traditional Chinese folding fan.

Rows of public toilets lined up the area

The whole Olympic park was constructed for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Since then, the streets around the park have been used for an exhibition street race.

Almost 1am in BKK, time to head to bed for an early morning tml! More pics of the Olympic Park in my next post ;)
