As the clock was ticking down, more than 300 people came to the count-down
board to send good wishes to the Beijing Olympics, drawing dozens of Chinese and
overseas media to the spot. Some of them were taking pictures and others were
practising count-down from ten to one. Police patrolling at the square told
Xinhua that there were far more people than usual.
