Amazing Little Town Outside of Beijing | Gubei Water Town | Simatai Great Wall
Recently I went to an amazing little town outside of Beijing. This little town was called Gubei Water Town and it is nestled at the base of the Simatai section of the Great Wall of China. In this little town they have some fantastic light shows, steam foot baths, and lots of little shops and restaurants. They even have an ice playground! You have to check this place out if you come to Beijing and have some time to spend at the Great Wall.

The Beijing National Aquatics Center, better known as the Water Cube, is an aquatics center that was built alongside Beijing National Stadium in the Olympic Green for the swimming competitions of the 2008 Summer Olympics. Despite its nickname, the building is a cuboid (rectangular box), not a cube. Ground was broken on December 24th, 2003, and the Center was completed and handed over for use on January 28th, 2008. Swimmers at the Water Cube broke 25 world records during the 2008 Olympics.
The Water Cube was built with donations from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan compatriot as well as overseas Chinese.

Megastructures: Beijing Water Cube
In Beijing a building like no other has emerged. It is a bold experiment in architecture and a cutting-edge vision of construction engineering. When Beijing hosts the 2008 Olympics the eyes of the world will be riveted on this building. Its official name is the National Swimming Centre but in the world of mega-architecture it is reverently known as the Water Cube. It's a brilliant fantasia of steel and plastic -- a honeycomb of fifty six miles (ninety kilometres) of steel framework, supporting pillows of high tech plastic inflated onto shimmering translucent bubbles.
We go behind the scenes to learn more about the vision behind a building destined to become one this century's leading architectural feats.

In Beijing a building like no other has emerged. It is a bold experiment in architecture and a cutting-edge vision of construction engineering. When Beijing hosts the 2008 Olympics the eyes of the world will be riveted on this building. Its official name is the National Swimming Centre but in the world of mega-architecture it is reverently known as the Water Cube. It's a brilliant fantasia of steel and plastic -- a honeycomb of fifty six miles (ninety kilometres) of steel framework, supporting pillows of high tech plastic inflated onto shimmering translucent bubbles.
We go behind the scenes to learn more about the vision behind a building destined to become one this century's leading architectural feats.
This video clip is the opening sequence of the documentary NHNZ co-produced with NGCI, NGC US and CICC at the end of 2007.
