Apr. 26 - During Beijing's 2008 Olympic Games you could take your family
to watch swimming, diving and water polo events at Water Square, the pool
complex which is to play venue to these competitions.
But soon after the closing ceremony in the summer of 2008, you will also
be able to take a dip in the Olympic waters, attend a fitness class or
even watch a movie at the site, also called the National Swimming Centre.
Li Baowei, deputy director of the Beijing Investment Promotion Bureau,
yesterday explained how facilities would be put to use after the Games
and revealed that all 31 Olympic gym and stadium projects are open to
partnership with domestic and overseas investors.
The Beijing Development and Planning Committee (BDPC) has released
detailed schemes for 31 projects on the website www.bjoe.gov.cn, which
was officially launched on April 18.
The aquatic entertainment centre is expected to receive nearly 5,000
visitors every day.
But it is not just Water Square which will be made available to the
public - other venues, too, can be used or bought.
Beijing Wukesong Cultural and Sports Centre, which will host basketball
and baseball, will later integrate culture, sports and commercial
activity.
The Olympic Village, with residential, commercial and recreation
facilities, will be transformed into a low-density prime residential
community.
