On April 26, BOCOG revealed its planned torch relay route for the Beijing Olympic Games.
The relay will be held from March 24 to August 8, 2008. It is composed of the overseas and domestic routes and will last 130 days and travel 137,000 kilometers through more than 130 cities across the five continents.
During the relay, mountaineers will carry the torch and scale the highest peak in the world -- Mt. Qomolangma. BOCOG unveiled on the same day the Olympic Torch design, which possesses a unique Chinese flavor.
The planned torch relay routes for the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics are revealed.
Special flame arrives at Everest base camp
A special Olympic flame arrived at Mount Everest base camp today, as Beijing Games organisers attempt to bring the symbol to the top of the world's highest mountain, state press said.
The attempt to scale Everest with a high altitude Olympic torch is expected to be a high point in the global torch relay that has been severely hampered by protests against China's handling of Tibet.
China's clampdown on Tibet, and its overall human rights record, has been the subject for the numerous protests that have followed the torch relay around the world and incensed the Beijing organisers of the Games.
