(BEIJING, July 28) -- Of all the Olympic venues in Beijing, the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park is situated farthest away from the central Olympic area.

To ensure that athletes will arrive at the Shunyi venue on time for competitions, and to ensure that spectators will also be able to get to the venues in a time efficient manner, Shunyi District has paved a new road—Baima Lu. The new road will enable athletes to arrive at the venue within 30 minutes, and spectators with tickets can hop on a free shuttle bus from there.

Exiting on to Baima Lu from the Jing-Cheng Expressway, it would take only 16 minutes to reach the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park. From the Olympic Village, the Shunyi venue is only 20 minutes away by car.

During the Olympic Games, Baima Lu will be a dedicated Olympic traffic route.

As is customary with Olympic venues, the rowing-canoeing park does not offer a parking area for private vehicles. Instead, four parking lots have been built in the park's surrounding areas. Each lot has an area of over 10,000 sq m, with the capacity to hold over 200 mid-size cars and over 100 small cars.

From each of the parking lots, spectators can take one of 25 dedicated shuttle buses to the park.
