xtclvr05 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 in the front page it says that beijing has turned on the lighting displays for the nights of the olympics and i was wondering if anybody could get some pictures? please i would love to see them
Maryjane Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 That's fine.Because lots of the stuff would only be prepared beofre 7th August. So there would be more pics commin soon, including the CCTV building.
baron-pierreIV Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) A lot of those buildings have ugly NIGHT (white) lighting including this one of what would otherwise be such a pretty park. Ugh!! That neon light on the little foot bridge!! Garish! Where's that building with like 4 Chinese ancients on the front? I thought that was a uniquely hideous Beijing building.

micheal_warren Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 Thanks for all the photos! Marvellous
baron-pierreIV Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) Maryjane, if they've got WHITE lights, please DON'T post them. They're as ugly as hell at night!! Edited August 4, 2008 by baron-pierreIV
Jonafin Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Hey Maryjane, thanks for the post, though I am surprised that Beijing has not done a "Hong Kong" and put neon lights on its sky-scrapers. But then again, the main focus should be the Sporting Venues, the city buildings (if they are just regular, non historic buildings), should play a somewhat lesser role in promoting the city, (after all office buildings are just that).... you can find these sort of buildings anywhere.... buildings with chinese flavour should be the ones promoted...... anyways, great job on posting pics......
its a bid of magic Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Nice pics - You would almost be in favour of state controlled communism if it keeps the streets and parks clean like those pictures above show.
