I only have one word to describe the opening ceremony to the Beijing 2008 Olympics - Spectacular!
China certainly knows how to put on show and with Zhang Yimou at the helm you wouldn’t really expect anything less. London now has a lot to live up to but I can already guarantee you it’ll be tame in comparison to this.
I’ll let the photos do the talking… can’t wait to download this in HD!

Oh it was magnificent, I am really missing Beijing.
Yeah, me too very much! I remember wanding around the Olympic site when it was still under construction. Really really wish I was back there. Here's hoping Shenzhen is as interesting!!
hoho I was very proud of it
I like the pigeons flying ceremony
It's very creative & humanization:-)
