In 2008, the 29th Summer Olympic Games were held in China. On this occasion, a huge high-tech Olympic village was built in Beijing. On an area of ​ ​ ​ ​.660 square kilometers, many futuristic sports arenas were built, which continue their life after the Olympic Games. The grandiose stadium "Bird's Nest" became the face of the Olympic Village. Near the stadium there is a swimming complex "Water Cube", whose walls and ceiling are made of plastic coating - today numerous light and music shows are held here.
