The Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are opposite each other, so it's better to come at night when the lights are on to see the best view.
The National Olympic Center is located on the south side of the North Fourth Ring Road in Beijing, across the road from the Olympic Park, Olympic Forest Park and the Olympic Village. The Olympic Sports Center is very large. It took me a long time to walk around. It was really exciting and surprising. There are so many different buildings. I used to see them on TV, but now they are right in front of me. I have to walk up to them to see them. It’s okay to just look at them from a distance.
The night is even more charming. Walking around the square will make you feel relaxed and happy, showing the elegance of Beijing's architecture. Sometimes the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube also hold large-scale concerts and sports competitions, which are worth seeing.
The National Olympic Center was only seen from a distance from the Bird's Nest.
The Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, the central square where the Beijing Olympics were held, are both here.
Admission is free, but the Bird's Nest and Water Cube are charged separately, so I didn't go in. I watched the night view in the park. The structure of the Bird's Nest is clear at night, and the Water Cube looks like bubbles arranged in a cell arrangement.
The National Olympic Center has become a new landmark for Beijing tourism since the 2008 Olympic Games. When you come to Beijing, you must check in and take photos here. Of course, if you are not sure and have plenty of time, you can add a visit to the venue. The Bird's Nest will be more expensive, so it depends on your personal choice.
The Bird's Nest, the Water Cube, the Linglong Tower, and the Olympic Sports Center are all the best memories of the Olympic Games.
The roads here are wide and not crowded. I feel like I'm back in my childhood. I don't know why I feel this way. So I like it here very much. The temperature in the morning is just right, not too cold or too hot.
Went to the Olympic Center at night, so excited~~~
Tickets are not required, but if you want to visit the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest, you need tickets. The Water Cube costs 30 yuan, and the Bird's Nest costs 110 yuan.
Look carefully, there is still a torch!
It is recommended to come in the evening so that you can see the Olympic Park both during the day and at night!
After security check, enter the square. The Water Cube is on the left and the Bird's Nest is on the right. Interested friends can buy tickets to go inside and take a look. The ticket is about a few dozen yuan. Otherwise, you can just stay outside the square to rest and enjoy.
It is recommended to see the Bird's Nest and Water Cube at night.
Many people were dancing and singing in the Olympic Plaza. The plaza was very big and the wind was strong. It was very comfortable to blow the wind at night. Many aunties were dressed up beautifully and dancing. Most of them were dancing modern and cha-cha. As I am a dance lover, I am familiar with these... The dance foundation is really good, those aunties...
After dinner, it was almost 8 o'clock and the sky was just full of sunset glow. At this time, I walked towards the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. The sky gradually darkened. Along the way, I met people performing live singing, square dancing, and roller skating. I really enjoyed the slow-paced life!
The buildings in the Olympic Sports Center area all reflect the modern urban atmosphere of science and technology. After strolling through the old alleys and ancient streets of old Beijing, and then being in the magnificent buildings, anyone will wonder if they have traveled through time!
The entrance to the Olympic Sports Center is right after you exit the subway. You can enter by swiping your ID card. You can enter the Bird's Nest. The ticket seems to be 80. I was going to go there, but after hearing the introduction that it was a good place to take photos, and I stayed in the square for a long time, I didn't go in. If you look closely at the Water Cube, it looks like a tumor cell that has changed color. Hahaha. The night view is still very beautiful, and you must come to check in.
A distinctive landmark, worth a visit, with the best night view.
2016.11.19 Lao Yang went to Beijing to visit relatives and friends, and went to the National Olympic Center. The park was very grand and neatly built; 2019.7.28 The whole family visited the Olympic Sports Center in the hot summer;
The place is quite big, but I am most impressed by the building in the photo. I heard from my Beijing friends that this building has many nicknames, such as "Nail" and "Enoki Mushroom", haha!
Come here to feel the spirit of sports. Worth a look
I didn't go in, but the night view was still beautiful.
The Bird's Nest is a really amazing building. It shows that my country's architectural level is among the best in the world. For a country bumpkin like me, I can only describe it as shocking. Thumbs up!
終於來到鳥巢.只有一句話形容.太雄偉了
I was excited to see the Bird's Nest, but then sad because I couldn't ride a bike inside. It's so huge, it felt like I had to ride around the earth. After its glory days, the sports mecca should consider its future use, otherwise the maintenance costs will be stretched.
The name of the Nail Tower is a real failure, as the nail represents coldness, industry, and metal. But I think it looks like a tree of life, representing vitality, green, and hope.
Finally saw the Bird's Nest and visited the National Stadium. I felt very proud~
The Olympic Forest Park is located at the northernmost end of the extended line of Beijing's central axis. It is the largest urban green landscape in Asia, larger than the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace combined.
The National Olympic Sports Center was built during the Asian Games
Every country’s Olympic memory is worth a visit!
It's a big park, but there's nothing much to see if you're just here for sightseeing.
The night view of this place is really beautiful at night. It’s a good idea to bring a camera with you!
It's a big place, with the Bird's Nest, Water Cube, etc. It's worth seeing.
The Olympic Park contains attractions such as the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. There are not many people there, so it is a good place for exercise.
You will definitely come here when you come to Beijing. After all, the 2008 Beijing Olympics is a treasured memory shared by all Chinese people. There is a subway here, and the transportation is very convenient. The Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are right next to it. There will be a lot of people~ It will be crowded when taking pictures~~
The night view of the Olympic Sports Center is very beautiful. The Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are colorful and beautiful. There is a column-shaped building in the park that keeps changing colors. Because it was night, I didn't understand what it was, but it was very beautiful.
The sky in Beijing is very blue, which is a rare opportunity. I am very grateful for God's favor; the sun is very warm on my body and the wind is very strong; I had a close contact with the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, and my mood was very beautiful.
After exiting the station, go up to the 2nd floor and walk straight to the Olympic Park. After security check, you can enter the park for free. It may be more beautiful with the lighting effects at night. It will take about 3 hours to visit.
The night view is quite beautiful. I don’t think there is much to see during the day. The park is too big and it’s tiring to walk around. Besides, there are few people… You can go shopping in shopping malls or something like that. I went out to eat that day and happened to have a camera with me, so I took a few photos of the night view.
It was a very foggy day, but the building still looked very impressive.
The most representative venue, where large-scale performances and competitions are often held, is worth a visit!
In general, it's not worth the price, but it's a pity not to go into the museum
The completion of the Olympic Park, Sports Center, Bird's Nest, Water Cube, etc. has created an additional leisure place for the citizens of Beijing, and has received more and more tourists from all over the world, turning it into a national 5A scenic spot.
The Water Cube and the Bird's Nest are inside the Sports Center. Because there are more people during the National Day holiday, the security check is very strict. The lights are very beautiful at night.
As the main venue of the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, it is worth a look, especially when compared with the Bird's Nest across the street. You can immediately and intuitively feel the earth-shaking changes in China in the past 20 years!
The Bird's Nest may be better to see during the day, but the Water Cube is definitely more beautiful at night.
This place is so big. You can take Metro Line 8 and walk around. You can buy tickets to the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube if there are no games going on.
You can also see the Olympic Tower, and if you are not afraid of getting too hot or too tired, you can walk all the way to the Olympic Forest Park...
Olympic Sports Center is a must-visit when you come to Beijing. The scenery is better at night, so it is recommended to come in the evening.
We deliberately chose to go to the Olympic Sports Center at night because the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube under the lights were less cold and hard than steel and concrete, and more warm and soft.
We took the tram to the Olympic Sports Center, which is a place for sports. Many people exercise there, or gather around the artificial lake to chat and chat. There are mostly locals, not many tourists. There were relatively few people, so although the sun was scorching, it was fun to take pictures.
The lotus flowers are in bloom, so beautiful. Compared to flowers, I prefer trees. Besides lotus, the lotus is my favorite.
I called a taxi using a taxi app and had a great time chatting with the driver. It turned out that he was the one who called me back. What a fate. The Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are very grand, and the night view is super beautiful at night. I think it is worth seeing
I like the lights at the Olympic Sports Center, the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube at night. They are much more vivid than the steel and concrete during the day.
The Olympic Sports Center is quite large, but the surrounding area is blocked off and you can only walk. I arrived there in the evening and saw the huge Olympic torch and the Bird's Nest. I waited until nightfall to see the lights on the Water Cube. I have to say that the Water Cube is quite beautiful. There were also people flying kites in the square.
The Olympic Sports Center is the main venue complex built during the 1990 Asian Games. It is distinguished from the Olympic Park, the main venue of the 2008 Olympic Games. The Bird's Nest, the Water Cube and the National Indoor Stadium are all in the Olympic Park. However, the Olympic Sports Center and the Olympic Park are very close to each other. The Olympic Sports Center and the Olympic Park are two stations apart on Beijing Metro Line 8. The Bird's Nest is in the middle of the two stations. It will be closer if you get off at the Olympic Sports Center Station. There are not many things to visit in the Olympic Sports Center, just various competition venues. It is generally better to visit the Olympic Park first.
The first time I arrived in the capital Beijing, I went to the Olympic Center, a great place to relax.
Beijing’s winter isn’t particularly cold, but the Olympic Sports Center is quite spacious. The wind is blowing so well that people don’t have to walk by themselves…
You have to pay to enter the museum, but you don't have to pay if you don't enter~
We took the subway to the Olympic Sports Center. Opposite the center was the IBM building, which was very impressive.
The Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are particularly beautiful at night. The lights are bright and there are so many people.
The night view is very beautiful. It is recommended to go there after 17:00 in the afternoon and leave before 21:00. There are direct subway and bus services, which is very convenient. You can also watch the amateur entertainment life of local residents.
After the Olympics, come to the Olympic Sports Center to experience the spirit of sports.
The two buildings echo each other and are much larger than they appear on TV.
We arrived early, and it was not dark yet. We waited until 7:30 for the lights of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube to turn on. Friends, please note that you should not go too early, as the lights will not turn on until 7:30. Otherwise, you will have to wait for a long time.
This place has been very popular since the 2008 Olympic Games, and tourists flock to it.
After exiting the subway, I saw the Bird's Nest in the distance. I was so excited. It was so huge. I ran all the way. The Bird's Nest was getting closer and closer. I took photos one after another. In the evening, Yang Kun, Sun Nan and other stars performed here. The ticket price was 100 yuan, but it was estimated that it would be after 10 o'clock. Sister Yang also asked us to go home early, so we didn't go in to watch. 100 yuan is really cheap. At about 18:40, the lights of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube began to light up. Everyone in the crowd began to party. The Water Cube kept changing colors. It was really beautiful and a visual feast.
We wanted to buy a commemorative gold medal, so we asked a man in camouflage who looked like an armed police officer. He said they didn't seem to sell it. We should go to the illegal stalls at the entrance. That was direct enough. By the way, you must protect your belongings when taking the subway. My friend suddenly asked me to check if my backpack was opened. Sure enough! There was a big hole. Fortunately, I found it in time and hid the things in the secret compartment. It was not stolen. If you lose things when you come out, you will be very unhappy, so you must keep your belongings well.
There's nothing special about taking photos.
After appreciating the charm of the Bird's Nest, go to the Water Cube to play in the water (take Metro Line 8 and get off at Olympic Park Station). When I got out of the subway station, I was amazed. I felt that there was still a big gap between the "Bird's Nest" in Chenzhou and it. When I entered the Water Cube Water Park, there was nothing surprising. It was actually a Chimelong Water Park that was several times smaller, and the facilities inside were worse than those of Chimelong. My daughter had a lot of fun playing there.
Walk to the Olympic Sports Center and feel the magnificence of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. It is really amazing that such a large area has been opened up in Beijing where every inch of land is valuable. Please note that the Olympic Sports Center is not suitable for playing at noon when the sun is shining brightly, as it will burn you to death.
It is a very bright place. The Linglong Tower keeps changing different colors. It is very beautiful at night.
It was already past 6pm when we arrived at the Olympic Sports Center. There were many tourists in the square, and even more vendors. The uncle selling Olympic souvenirs kept trying to sell us so that we, the southerners, thanked him repeatedly and fled in embarrassment. There were also many aunties selling kites in the square. These small kites from the north were really beautiful when they were flying in strings.
We went to the Olympic Sports Center as planned. It was a visual shock to appreciate the lighting effects of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube at night!
The Olympic Center area includes important Olympic venues such as the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. There are not so many competitions here now, but there are still a large number of tourists coming to visit
The Olympic Sports Center and various Olympic buildings along the way are a testimony to the 2008 Olympic Games.
As for the Olympic Sports Park, if you want to appreciate the magnificent buildings built by the country to host the Olympics, it's good, but I think it's really meaningless. Just take some photos and be in a daze.
There were really too many people. The scaffolding was being removed at the center of the Bird's Nest, which was really an eyesore to be honest. Plus the weather was really bad.
We only watched the night view of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube from outside, and the lights were indeed very beautiful.
Many people in the square were flying kites with many small kites on a long string, and often two kites on the string got tangled together accidentally. The atmosphere was like a high-end Qiandeng Lake.
I believe that everyone who didn't come here in 2008 was excited and full of regrets when seeing them. At least I felt that way. The Olympic Sports Center is full of art.
Get off at the Olympic Sports Center. After exiting the station, the Bird's Nest is not far away, and the Water Cube is further down. The Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are even more charming at night with the company of lights.
