Dear friends,
On the third day I was in Beijing, the weather was still cold, but my friends and I were still able to go out and see the Olympic Bird's Nest and Water Cube. You can't access the Olympic Arena with a taxi; you can only access the area with the metro or subway. When you get to the arena, you can walk to both the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. It's very beautiful and there's even little lights along the path that match the Bird's Nest design. See picture below:

We didn't go inside because you had to pay and I think seeing the outside was sufficient.
