Here are some great pictures of the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic venues. The Aquatic Center is especially gorgeous, and the Velodrome track is an amazing feat of structural engineering (I read somewhere, but I forget where, that the track is actually an updated and improved version of the tracks used in previous Games, designed specifically to improve performance at the Games).
I do hope, however, that Beijing won't fall into the mistake of building these wonderful buildings and then not putting the facilities to proper use by withholding them from the public, or by not giving them proper maintenance after the Games are over.
