Beijing - The Water Cube

Of course, we couldn't be content with just seeing the Water Cube from the outside. Once we found out that there was a world-class diving competition being held in the Water Cube, we knew we had to attend. So, instead of going to the Summer Palace as planned, we gave up ancient history for modern history and spent the day in the Cube. A day we will remember for a very long time!

Two beautiful buildings together:
