3rd day in Beijing

---

This morning we went to Temple of Haven and the hazy pollution is quite bad in Beijing so the visibility is not very far. Today it is not as hot as yesterday so we drink a bit less water. The traffic congestion is a prominent problem for Beijing despite having good highways. In the afternoon, we went to see Beijing Olympics Park where we see National Stadium--natural "Bird's Nest" and National Swimming Center "Water Cube" where Michael Phelps broke 8 records last year in Beijing 2008. We were heading back to the hotel at 3:00 PM to enjoy the cool weather in our room.
