National Stadium (Bird's Nest)

The National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest, is the main venue of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games and Winter Paralympic Games, as well as the world's first "dual Olympic opening and closing ceremonies venue". Located in the central area of Beijing Olympic Park, the Bird's Nest covers an area of 20.4 hectares, with a construction area of 258,000 square meters, and can accommodate 91,000 spectators. As an iconic building representing the image of the country, the Bird's Nest transcends the concept of pure sports or architecture and carries far-reaching social significance, becoming a platform for international communication and an important window to showcase China's image.
By carrying out comprehensive market-oriented operation exploration, creating new tourism highlights, introducing top-level events and performances, establishing public welfare events for youth, cultivating independent brand projects of Bird’s Nest, and extending the industrial chain of venue operation, Bird's Nest has developed a sustainable development path of mega Olympic venues with Chinese characteristics by integrating large-scale sports events, popular sports, high-end cultural activities, tourism services and commercial development. It has become the most dynamic post-Olympic venue in the world.
