Bird's Nest to become winter playground 

Workers move artificial snow near flag poles to form a small skiing slope inside China's iconic national stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest, in Beijing December 16, 2009. The stadium has been turned into a winter playground at a cost of around 50 million yuan (US$7 million) in an effort to attract more tourists during the quieter Christmas and Chinese New Year season.
