Smoke billows out from the demolition site of the Wulihe Stadium in Shenyang, Northeast China's Liaoning Province, February 12, 2007. The dated stadium, where China got its first ticket to men's World Cup finals after defeating Oman in 2001, will be replaced with shopping centers. A new stadium is scheduled to be built at another site in the city for soccer matches of the upcoming Beijing Olympics.[Newsphoto]
