Beijing, Olympic area & Temple of Heaven
Julian and I took the Beijing Subway again, for 2 Yuan (20c AUD) its a bargain! Though not when the stations and lines you are looking for are not actually in existence. The Olympic lines are not connected yet. 
The Birdsnest National Stadium, very impressive, but unreachable for the common person. The Olympic Park is all locked off to the public. Though the 90min journey from town seemed worth it.
Next door to the Birdsnest is the Water Cube. The National Aquatic Centre, also off limits.
Outside the Temple of Heaven people sell hot sweet potato on open brazziers atop mobile trikes.
Lovely peaceful wide avenues and parks in Temple of Heaven complex. Again Massive area.

More empty places in the city!
The Olympic Park is fenced off. Otherwise, except for the Metro and Buses which are quite full off peak, its not that crowded here during the week.
It must have been very busy when you were here!! Most visitors are Chinese, not many westerners at all.
