The Beijing Olympic opening ceremony is a stunner! Begin on 8th Aug 2008 (08/08/08), 8.08pm, a typical chinese number!!发发发!! On day light, the bird nest didn't look much attractive. But the view from top at night is very very different! Directed by Zhang Yimou(张艺谋), the whole opening is so much like a movie. It reminds me of 'the curse of golden flower'. If one thing that China can afford, definately is the man-power. Imagine they can choose that thousands of performers from 1.3 billion of Chinese population...

This is my favourite scene of the opening ceremony. I love the earth-like lantern with acrobats running around. Furthermore, it's Sarah Brightman. Never expect she'll be there.
Compare to Bird Nest, the luminious Beijing National Aquatic Centre is much elegant and attractive.
