The National Stadium (Bird's Nest) is located in the south of the central area of Beijing Olympic Park, which is the main stadium of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The project covers a total area of 21 hectares, with about 91,000 audience seats. The Olympic Games were held, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games, the final competitions of track and field matches and football matches were held. After the Olympic Games, it has become a large professional place for Beijing citizens to participate in sports activities and enjoy sports entertainment, as well as a landmark sports building and Olympic heritage. The stadium is designed by Jacques & Herzog, Demeron, Ai Weiwei and Li Xinggang, and constructed by Beijing Urban Construction Group. The shape of the stadium is like the "nest" and cradle that breeds life, and it is the hope of human beings for the future. Designers did not do any superfluous treatment to the venue, exposed the structure, and thus naturally formed the appearance of the building. Construction started on December 24, 2003 and completed in March 2008 with a total cost of 2.267 billion yuan. As a national landmark building, the main stadium of the 2008 Olympic Games, the structure characteristics of the National Stadium are very remarkable. The stadium is a super sports building and a large stadium. The main structure design has a service life of 100 years, the fire-resistant grade is one, the seismic fortification intensity is eight, and the underground waterproof grade is one. In April 2014, China's top ten contemporary building evaluation committees initially evaluated 20 buildings from more than 1,000 landmark buildings in China, including four indicators: age, scale, artistry and influence. Eventually, ten contemporary buildings emerged. Beijing Bird's Nest, the National Stadium, is one of the first selected buildings.

    Best spring day!! A must-visit in Beijing, walking the neighborhood of the Bird’s Nest leads to other parks and attractions. Lots of street food and light meal options as well as coffee.

    The National Stadium in Beijing, fondly known as the Bird's Nest, leaves an indelible impression on all who encounter its awe-inspiring presence. Its architectural grandeur, with interwoven steel beams reminiscent of a bird's nest, evokes a sense of wonder and admiration. Having served as the centerpiece of the 2008 Summer Olympics, it symbolizes China's determination to showcase its culture and capabilities to the world. Stepping inside, the vastness of the stadium and its ability to host over 80,000 spectators create a palpable atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. Visitors are drawn not only to its sporting events but also to experience firsthand the majesty of its design. Whether bathed in sunlight or illuminated against the night sky, the Bird's Nest stands as a testament to China's ingenuity and ambition, leaving an enduring impression on all who behold it.

    We only had a few days in Beijing but I’m very happy we were able to visit the National Stadium. The area is huge and it takes about two hours to see the whole thing, but in the stadium from a short distance is quite impressive. Tip: Try to get in via the National Stadium metro station and walk all the way up to the north, where there’s another metro station.

    March is the off-season, there are not many people, the weather is cold, the nest is shoveling snow, the first time you come to the nest, you must come to punch in, China's first Olympic opening ceremony track and field venue, very good.

    I think the night of the nest is more beautiful and the lights are brighter. Under the light, the nest is more bright. In the nest, there are some places where you can punch in and take pictures. The child likes the one with the torch the most.
