Olympic stadium opens its doors
Apr. 15 - Beijing's Olympic Bird's Nest Stadium makes its debut to the foreign media.
The iconic 3.5 billion yuan (500.2 million USD) arena, the centrepiece of the Beijing Olympics, took more than four years to build.
Construction started in December 2003 and was completed 14 weeks behind schedule.
It will host the opening and closing ceremonies as well as the athletics and soccer finals during the Aug. 8-24 Summer Games.
