    2008-08-10 13:58:04     CRIENGLISH.com

Hello and welcome to another edition of  China Horizons, our weekly feature program brought to you by China Radio International. I'm your host Du Lijun.

In today's program, we are going to visit the Beijing Capital International Airport and check out the new terminal which is one of the most important construction projects for the Beijing Olympic Games.

Then we are going to feature a heightened security program in Beijing subway to ensure public safety during the Games.

And finally in our travel segment, On the Road, our guide Wu Jia will take us on a trip to southeastern Beijing's Panjiayuan Market, one of the key tourist attractions to receive Olympic guests.

For all these and more, stay tuned to  China Horizons on China Radio International.

One of the most important construction projects for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Terminal 3 at the Capital International Airport opened earlier this year. The expansion project includes a new terminal building, a cargo zone and auxiliary facilities. Let's tag along with Li Peichun for a visit.



For most people in Beijing, taking the subway is their first choice of transportation. To ensure public safety during the Olympic Games, the Beijing Subway has initiated a three-month heightened security program. In addition, new railway lines have been added. CRI's Zhao Yang has more.



For the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Chinese designers worked hard to put a novel pattern on the medals for the athletes. Well, what did the winners get 2000 years ago when the Olympiad originated? Our reporter Xu Weiyi has the answer.




One of the key tourist attractions to receive Olympic guests, Beijing's Panjiayuan Market is an ideal place for shopping for all types of Chinese arts and crafts. In today's "On the Road", CRI's Wu Jia will take you there and help you find the best products.
