Who needs hutongs with Olympic stadiums like these?

If you enjoyed the images of buildings planned for Shanghai's (near) future that we showed you recently, you may want to check out these stadiums that are apparently in the works up in Beijing. You've likely seen at least one of these before -- like the "Bird's Nest" -- but some will probably be new to you.

Are all of these real? Well, we found them on the internet -- so they've got to be real. And it's pretty cool to know that we will have figured out how to build our very own flying saucers (see above) in just two years!
