We present the VLBI map of a superluminal radio source AO 0235+164 at 5 GHz. This shows that the object's radio structure is dominated by a strong, nearly unresolved core with two extended asymmetric weak jet components. Based on the variation of its flux density with time at 5 GHz, we suggest that the flux density of AO 0235+164 exhibits two periodic variations: a shorter-period variation of /1.81+/-0.06 yr and a longer-period one of /3.64+/-0.08 yr. These two periodic variations could be the result of the joint action of jet outbursts and jet rotation.
