It goes without saying that it is one of the greatest sights in the world, an awe-inspiring feat of ancient defensive architecture. Its zigzag path over rugged country and steep mountains will take you to some great scenery. It is often said that the First Emperor of Qin built the Great Wall. In Qin Dynasty, the first emperor of Qin inked the northern walls to prevent invasion from northern nations. This majestic wall was built as a symbol of wisdom, dedication.
Olympic Stadium - Bird Nest (Outside)
Bird's Nest, the National Stadium is situated in Olympic Green Village, Chaoyang District of Beijing City. It was designed as the main stadium of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The Olympic events of track and field, football, gavelock, weight throw and discus were held there. Since October 2008, after the Olympics ended, it has been opened as a tourist attraction. Now, it's the center of international or domestic sports competition and recreation activities. In 2022, the opening and closing ceremonies of another important sport event, Winter Olympic Games will be held here.
The construction of the National Stadium started on December 24, 2003. On July 2004, the project was stopped temporarily due to the amendment of the design. On December 27 of the same year, the construction was resumed and finished in March, 2008. The total cost was more than 423 million dollars, a tiny fraction of the 40 billion USD spent on Beijing in preparation for the Olympics.
The Bird’s Nest was designed by Swiss Architects, Herzog & de Meuron, and a Chinese Architect, Li Xinggang. The requirements for its design were that it had to be inspiring and be able to withstand an earthquake.The design came from the idea of a single thread wrapped round a ball. Layers of logical geometry give the appearance of randomness and an organic shape.
It is 333 meters long from north to south, 294 meters wide from east to west, and the highest point is 68.5 meters. The stadium's design originally called for a capacity of 100,000 people; however 9,000 were removed during a simplification of the design. The new total of 91,000 was shaved further when 11,000 temporary seats were removed after the 2008 Olympics; bringing the stadium's current capacity to 80,000 seats.
Olympic Stadium is most impressive from the outside, where it’s bird’s nest shape is apparent. Situated on the Beijing Olympic Green, Olympic Stadium is free to enjoy from the outside, but you’ll have to pay a fee if you want to enter the stadium.

The park has gone through quite a few changes to attract visitors to the Olympic site, and make it the attraction that it is today. In August 2010, the 20,000 sq ft Water Cube reopened as an exciting destination for those who love water. It is thought to be Asia’s largest water park and features a wave pool, lazy river, spa, water slides and various rides.
The Water Cube was designed by PTW Architects and Ove Arup. Their unique and inspired design was based on the way soap bubbles come together in a 12 or 14-sided cell structure.This advanced membrane structure is formed by 3,065 bubble-like pneumatic cushions of all sizes. It becomes the first large-scale public project coated with the membrane, and it also has set up a new world record for its massive deployment.
In 2022, it will be the venue of curling competitions during the Winter Olympic Games.
