Welcome to Shunyi District! I am a native Beijinger. The Olympic park hosted the Rowing, Canoe/Kaytak, Flat-water Kayak, Slalom and marathon swimming events during. The park has the largest surface area of the newly-built Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Venues. Covered with green trees and limpid water, cloaked with azure sky, the park is also a great sightseeing place.
From May 1 this year, it will reopen to you again. Various Olympics-themed cultural activities will be held in the park. Tourists can visit the Floating Podium and Fountain Square. A special scene in the park is the hand molds of 100 Olympic Champions sampled during the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

I am afraid that you can not enter the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park in April. It was closed for maintenance after the Olympic Games. It will reopen to the public on May 1, 2009. Some facilities used in the events have been demolished; the roads in the park were maintained and resurfaced.
