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.

Unlike many counterparts in different parts of the world, the Olympic Village in Beijing did not "sink into oblivion" after the end of the Olympic Games. Its territory is one of the favorite walking places for many residents of the capital.
Children play from the light and music fountain, sightseeing trams ride around the territory and life is seething. .
