People who wish to attend the games live might want to plan on arriving early to familiarize themselves with the surroundings and soak up the culture. After the games, you may want to spend a few more days exploring the interesting sites all over China. China probably has the most historical place, artifacts, and what-have-you's for the culture enthusiasts. Getting around major cities is a breeze as they have hi-speed trains to convey passengers in between.
