See the world - in Beijing

The Beijing Games hasn't only brought visitors from around the world to China, it's given global cultural and diplomatic organizations a chance to showcase their native cultures in the Olympic city.

Thanks to these special exhibits, this summer visitors can "globetrot" from Brazil to Russia, the United States to Japan, and beyond - all in downtown Beijing.

For instance, the heat is on at Brazil House (pictured above), where Brazilian drum music and video-screens of triumphant and sweat-drenched Brazilian athletes keep temperatures and enthusiasm high.
