Updated: 2006-06-22 13:35 Beijing plans to build a
giant Olympic logo near the Badaling section of the Great Wall, the official Web
site of the games said Tuesday.
The Beijing Games logo as well as its slogan "One World, One Dream," will be
installed on a hillside, which is several hundred meters away from the Great
Wall.
People will be able to appreciate the site tomorrow, as the Olympic
organizing committee will be holding an unveiling ceremony for its Beijing
Olympic Arts Festival.
Reportedly Salt Lake City, U.S. and Sydney, Australian officials built
similar logo projects when they held the Olympic Games.
The Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games installed its logo on a popular
mountain, while Sydney placed the logo on its Harbor Bridge, which attracted the
attention of millions of people.
The Badaling section is the most famous part of the Great Wall in Beijing,
and covers a section of 629 kilometers passing through six districts, including
Huairou, Changping, Miyun and Mentougou counties.
