The entire park covers six-and-a-half square kilometers. It has a grand, open garden view stretching to the horizon. The horticulture has a sporting theme. And there's a path that honors the names of Chinese Olympic gold medal winners since 1984.

The newly established Olympic Park is a green ribbon for the Shenyang landscape and a reminder of the city's part in the 2008 Olympic Games.
