Beijing,+China

Beijing, China

In 2008, Bejing was chosen out of almost 21,000 entries from around the world to host the summer olympics. The reason bejing was chosen was because china is a very wealthy country, and is therefore able to support the needs that hosting the summer olympics requires. Also china's staggeringly amazing history and monuments not made it only a place for the olympics, but as a chance to see some of the greatest works of art from back to 500 Bc.

China spent many billions of dollars on this olympics, making it the most expensive olympics ever. Also a few millon children were named "olympics" in honor of the...olympics! Bejing's olympic motto was "one world, one dream" and their torch was designed with traditional chinese art in mind. The olympic mascots were: BeiBei Jingjing HuanHuan YingYing NiNi (all together, Bei jing huan ying ni means "welcome to bejing!") I hope you enjoyed reading about the bejing 2008 olympics.

Beijing was chosen to host the olympics because of their tremendous economic growth.They were also chosen because they are a very wealthy country. These were some of the reasons that Beijing was chosen to host the olympics. They were also chosen because they hae tried to lessen air pollution by building more subway sysems through out the city. Another reason for Beijing being chose to host the olympics is because they are the capitial of China.
