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.
