Beijing Olympic Park guide
Bird's Nest, Water Cube and Olympic Tower
The Bird's Nest was the main stadium for the 2008 Olympics. Its interlocking steel members form both structure and façade; at night, light from the interior reads through the lattice.
The Water Cube hosted swimming and diving in 2008, then used a water-to-ice conversion for curling during the 2022 Winter Games.
Five separate shafts form the Olympic Tower farther north. Seeing all three landmarks means a real walk along the central axis, not a quick circuit of one plaza.
