Abstract

The Beijing Olympic Forest Park lies at the north end of the 2008 Olympic Plan, "Axis to Nature," and terminates the Olympic axis with a model ecosystem and scenic vistas. The park is a combination of urban green lung, ecological buffer, traditional Chinese park, Olympic park, native forest, and urban retreat. Chinese traditional park concepts, modern landscape architecture, and ecological techniques are merged into one project for the 29th Olympic Games and the citizens of Beijing.
