During China's 2008 Summer Olympics
Bid (Logo on page 13 of the Candidature file,
https://library.olympics.com/Default/doc/SYRACUSE/42147/beijing-2008-candidate-city-comite-pour-la-candidature-de-beijing-aux-jeux-olympiques-de-2008)
we can see a Letter of support from the (then) Mayor of Beijing, Liu Qi,
and on the letterhead a logo, consisting of a Pagoda over a wall.

With the exceptions of the
Special Administrative Regions, subnational governments within the PRC are
forbidden to have their own logos. Rather, the pagoda (the name 'Beijing' in
the shape of the Temple of Heaven) was the logo of Beijing's 2000 Summer
Olympics bid (which was won by Sydney, Australia). The letterhead was thus
'recycled' during Beijing's 2008 Summer Olympics bid.
