Bird's Nest (National Stadium) Review

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.

so many things happening at night. from street karaoke to hip hop dance to shopping etc.

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.
