Everyone calls it the Olympic Park, but the official name for the area in which the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games were held is officially Olympic Green. Below you’ll see the Beijing National Aquatics Center, Beijing National Stadium (also known as the Bird’s Nest), and other sights remaining at this former Olympic site. You’ll also see a very large dragon known as Pangu Park.
