Today’s visit was to a professional sports school. All the gymnasts who train here are the best in Beijing. These gymnasts would vie with the other top notch gymnasts from other provinces to be in the national team. The boys watched the Fitness and Conditioning sessions of the male gymnasts. The girls met Yang Yanhong, a World Championships Gold Medalist. She shared her experience with them and wrote individual notes of encouragement for them. Coach Feng even showed us her hostel during her training days here.
Beijing Urban Planning Exhibition Hall
We learnt how Beijing developed over the years and the future plans for the city. There was an impressive and intricate 3-D model of the entire Beijing city. Watching the 20-minute 3-D movie concluded the visit. The teachers were honored to be photographed in front of the original Olympics flag.
Cloisonne Factory & Wangfujing Street
We were enthralled by the workmanship and the process involved in producing the cloisonné pieces. We were on a shopping spree, sweeping all the various Beijing Olympics 2008 mascots and souvenirs. We had our dinner at a Chinese restaurant in the upmarket Wangfujing Street.
