Dear Tom,

     In your last e-mail, you showed a great interest in our National Stadium

—the Bird’s Nest. Now I’d like to introduce it to you.

             The Bird’s Nest is located in the north of Beijing, and covers an area of 58,000 square meters, which can hold about 90，000 spectators. Its construction was started in December, 2003 and was completed in 2007. It looks just like a bird’s nest made of tree branches. During the Olympic Games, we will host the track and field events as well as soccer matches there. After the Games it will be used for large events.

    It is thought highly of by many people. Kofi Annan gave the thumbs-up to its design and said that it would be a wonder in architecture in the history of the global Games.

    I hope that my introduction will satisfy you.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
