The venues of Olympic Games is a reflection of the general level of science of the hosting country. Blend in

the concept of culture and green, the venues is a direct reflection of the concept of “people foremost”.

The 2008 Olympic Games plans to use 37 venues, include 10 ready venues, 5 venues need to be renovated, 22

venues need to be newly built (among them, 8 are specially built for the 2008 Olympic Games, including the main

stadium).

Among Chinese Olympic commemorative coins, the gold and silver commemorative coins for the 43rd Table-tennis

World Champion, and for the 11th Asia Games are all adopted stadium as the obverse design.

Games and stadiums of Olympics are themes that the hosting country emphatically put onto the Olympic coins, and

realism is the common expressive art of coins under this theme. Designs on commemorative coins for the 2008

Olympic games may fully showcase the Olympic stadiums.
