The flame will travel in the host city for three days before the opening ceremony this coming Friday, passing Beijing landmarks including Tian’anmen Square, the egg-shapped National Center, Temple of Heaven and will end at the National Stadium - Bird Nest.
Among the bearers, there are basketball celebrity Yaoming, and famed film director Zhang Yimou.

We have been kept guessing who will be the last torch bearer to light the main Olympic cauldron at the opening ceremony!
I don’t think Chairman Mao and Deng Xiaoping would ever imagined this! They would have been delighted!
