We then visited sites in Beijing itself. One question I had - what do you do with 18.5 million people? The Chinese have constructed huge high rises that house the people. They are stacked like dominoes as far as the eye can see.
The Olympic Stadium - known as the "Birds' Nest" is located in Beijing. It now sits empty. The Chinese do not use it at all. We also visited the pools that were used - "The Pool Cube" which is used a bit by the people - but they now are simply tourist attractions.
