FACTBOX - Beijing's Olympic venues after the Games

(Reuters) The following are key facts on how some of the 16 new venues that Beijing built for the Olympics are planned to be used after the Games.

BIRD'S NEST:

-- The new operator of the stadium, a consortium led by state-run investment group CITIC, will auction naming rights.

-- Seats will be reduced from Games' time 91,000 to 80,000 and the venue will become home to the Beijing Guoan Football Club and host entertainment events.

-- Hotels, restaurants, supermarkets and shopping malls will sprout up around the landmark as part of a 300 million yuan (23.6 million pounds) remodelling by CITIC.

WATER CUBE:

-- Some seats will be removed to transform the aquatic centre into a training and recreation centre. Tennis courts, water slides, retail outlets, night clubs and restaurants are planned.

-- Beijing National Aquatics centre Company Ltd, which will run the venue, promises entry prices similar to the city's other swimming pools to ensure that the public gets to use the only Games venue that was partly funded by their donations.
