BEIJING: Athletes from more than 200 countries and regions will find their cuisine that’s sure to be their favorite in the Beijing Olympic Village.
The variety of food, split into different zones including Chinese, Asian, international and Mediterranean, underlines the detailed preparation in the village which will house about 16,000 athletes, coaches and their entourage during the Games. The village officially opened on Sunday.

"We want to make this place a nice, quiet and comfortable place to stay, a place that feels like home," said village secretary-general Wu Jingmi.
The massive complex, which runs 800 meters from north to south and 900 meters across, is only a 20-minute walk northwest of two Games' venues - the Bird's Nest stadium and aquatic venue Water Cube.
The village has a main restaurant that can feed 5,000 people and also houses tea and coffee shops, a barbershop, post office, shops, library and a clinic.
In catering alone, some 100 foreign and 2,300 Chinese chefs and waiters offer 24-hour service every day. Menus change every eight days, and the meals are athletes' special.
