2008 Olympic Torch Relay
After a lighting ceremony in Greece, the torch will make a 137,000 km "journey of harmony," stopping off in 135 cities on five continents. From Petersburg to Pyongyang, Taiwan to Tibet, the relay's oddball itinerary tells us little about the games, but a lot about China and the political strife surrounding the games in '08. Click begin to follow the flame's full path, or select a highlighted stop for a snapshot of political hot spots along the way.
