Mentioning Beijing National Stadium and Beijing's Olympic swimming center tends to illicit little more than an uninterested shrug from most. But bring up Beijing's "Bird's Nest" or the "Water Cube" and eyes light up in recognition. The Bird's Nest (a.k.a. Beijing National Stadium) and the Water Cube (Beijing's brand new $100 million Olympic aquatic center) have been praised time and time again for their efficient practicality, unique architecture, and eye-catching design.

However, there is much more to the Olympic venues than these exquisite, recognizable modern treasures. There are a total of 58 Olympic venues, only most of which are located in Beijing, and each one has a unique story and interesting features unto itself. Read on and learn all about the places where Beijing 2008's most special triumphs, heartbreaking losses, and awe-inspiring moments will transpire - come summer 2008.
