Water Cube, National Aquatics Center - a Modern Masterpiece

As the host city of the 2008 Olympic Games it comes as no surprise that Beijing has a variety of sporting options for both locals and the multitude of foreign visitors it attracts each year. Popular facilities include such sports as football, basketball, tennis, squash and table tennis. For those in excellent physical condition options like rock-climbing, horseback riding, diving and bungee-jumping are available. Less demanding pursuits such as golf, bowling and billiards are also on offer.
