Photos progress universiade venues

At the end of February 2011 the first lights test was held at the Universiade venues in Longgang district. We went there several months ago when the steel frames were just visible and amazing progress has been made in the meantime. I pass the main venue in Nanshan district everyday when I go to work and it also looks great. The city has also installed countdown clocks to the opening of the Universiade games. Today still 145 days to go! Unfortunately no word yet on how to buy tickets, but I have contacted the organizers to get more information about this. According to a previous schedule, the tickets were supposed to go on sale in early 2011.

Inside the main Nanshan stadium. This venue will host the opening ceremony of the universiade I believe, but strangely it seems there are not many seats?
