Water Cube

[Scenery] We visited here at night. The exterior design of the Water Cube looks like the name, like a Water Cube. The exterior looks good, like a cube pushed up piece by piece, and the changing lights make it look particularly beautiful.
[Fun] The Water Cube has a construction area of ​​65,000-80,000 square meters, of which the underground area is no less than 15,000 square meters. The length, width and height are 177×177×30 meters respectively. The appearance of the venue is like an ice crystal cube, with a simple and modern shape. The interior of the venue is a six-story building with a square plane. The facilities in the venue mainly include a competition hall, a warm-up pool, a multi-functional hall and a large water park, which are particularly spectacular and beautiful.
[Cost-effectiveness] Tickets to visit the Water Cube cost 30 yuan.

[Scenery] The Water Cube is mainly for swimming competitions and water show. The water show is divided into several sessions according to time, which allows us to recall the Olympic spirit and the touching deeds of Olympic athletes. It is very beautiful and meaningful!
[Fun] There are also game areas, such as a swimming club, counters and shops selling special souvenirs.
[Cost-effectiveness] It is quite convenient and free with an annual pass.

Take subway line 8 to the Olympic Sports Center. It looks very beautiful from the outside, but the inside is very different from the Bird's Nest. There is nothing much there, but the ticket is indeed one-third cheaper than the Bird's Nest. However, the National Aquatics Center is also nice to look at. There are diving and swimming. There are no competitions now, and many things have been demolished. The whole tour takes less than half an hour, and the night view is very beautiful.

The first stop when arriving in Beijing is to check out the Olympic landmarks: the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube.
Bird's Nest
In the evening, I saw the red lights on the Bird's Nest. The Chinese red that penetrated through the steel and iron structure was like the passionate blood of athletes fighting hard.
Water Cube
The sparkling water droplets are the sweat shed by the athletes, reflecting the determination of the athletes!
The sky is round, the place
China Red, Beijing Blue
It is the red spirit of hard work and perseverance, the most beautiful colors interwoven to realize the blueprint of the Chinese Dream of the motherland! #北京#鸟巢#

As one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Water Cube (National Aquatics Center) has become a cultural symbol of Beijing and even China with its unique design and versatility. Its design is inspired by the molecular structure and foam form of water. The exterior is made of ETFE membrane material, presenting a crystal clear "ice crystal" effect, which is even more dreamy under the lights at night. It is not only an Olympic venue, but has now been transformed into a comprehensive venue integrating swimming, water play, entertainment and leisure. Visitors can experience a variety of activities such as professional swimming pools, water parks and light shows, and it has become a popular check-in spot for citizens and tourists.

From the aspects of architectural aesthetics, technological connotation, and travel experience, we will show you the unique charm of the Water Cube, reflecting its high cost-effectiveness and must-see value:

1. The Water Cube is definitely a must-visit place in Beijing! It has both artistic beauty and practical functions, a unique appearance, and rich internal facilities. You can appreciate the exquisite architectural art and enjoy a variety of entertainment experiences. The ticket price is also affordable, and the cost-effectiveness is super high!

2. The Water Cube brought me a lot of surprises during this trip to Beijing! This venue, which combines cutting-edge technology and architectural aesthetics, demonstrates human wisdom in every detail. Moreover, not only can you feast your eyes here, but you can also participate in various interesting activities. The key is that the cost is not high. It is really worth it. I highly recommend it!

The Water Cube has a unique architectural style. Its exterior walls look like big blue bubbles. When you walk into the interior, it is transparent and bright under natural light, and the internal column structure is clearly visible. There is a water park suitable for children to play in, and a standard swimming pool for swimming in the swimming club. There are restaurants such as KFC and Zhen Gongfu, so you can eat, drink and have fun.

20250427 Water Cube, went to see the night view of the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest in the evening. The Water Cube and the Bird's Nest are face to face and next to each other. I feel that the view during the day is better than the night view. The facade during the day has a more technological feel.

20230522 All day:
1. The "Water Cube" is located in the 5A scenic spot "Olympic Park". The Olympic Park is the competition area for the 2008 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, and the 2022 Winter Olympics. It is the world's first "double Olympic park". Located on the north side of the central axis of Beijing, it is a multifunctional scenic spot integrating leisure and fitness, green space health, sports culture, and event performances. It has hosted many important international conferences. The scenic area is divided into two major areas: the Olympic functional area and the forest park. Admission is free, but there is a charge inside the venue. It is closed on Mondays.
①Address: No. 33 Kehui Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing.
②Transportation: Direct bus access and easy parking.
③Peak season: None.
④Duration: 1 day.
2. The Olympic Function Area is rectangular, and the vast square is dotted with various sculptures. Among them, the snowflake sculpture on the torch stand of the 2022 Winter Olympics is the main sculpture that must be checked in. The shops on the shore of the artificial lake in the northeast corner are a good place for night gatherings. They are romantic and sentimental. Peonies of various colors bloom on the roadside, elegant and luxurious. The buildings that tourists can visit include the National Stadium ("Bird's Nest"), the National Aquatics Center ("Water Cube"), the National Speed ​​Skating Oval ("Ice Ribbon"), and the "Olympic Tower". It will be cheaper to buy a combined ticket for the first three venues.
3. The Water Cube is located on the southwest side of the central axis. It was the venue for swimming and other events in the 2008 Olympic Games. It is a blue square box with a membrane structure. It is the venue with the largest number of donations and visitors from overseas Chinese and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. In 2020, it was transformed into a curling venue and transformed into the "Ice Cube", the largest curling venue in the history of the Winter Olympics. The decorations of last year's Winter Olympics are still retained in the venue. Currently, only the first floor and the basement are open, including:
① Water Park: On the underground first floor, you can overlook it from the first floor. There are large-scale water amusement facilities on both sides and a simulated wave pool in the middle. The stage can be used to host water carnivals, music festivals, etc. It is full of fashion elements and is very suitable for parents and children.
②Swimming pool: It is located on the underground floor, open to the public and can be overlooked from the first floor.
③Introduction to the curling project: displayed in the form of pictures, texts, and sports equipment, as well as hand models of members of the Chinese women's national water polo team.
③Interesting scenery: magic camera, various dolls, etc.

The Water Cube is another name for the National Aquatics Center. This swimming pool built for the 2008 Beijing Olympics is a square building. But its exterior wall design is very creative, using a membrane structure combined with the surface shape of soap bubbles. It is its visual effect, which is very impactful. At night, the constantly changing colors make it show a magical effect.

The Water Cube is the swimming pool for the 2008 Olympic Games. Its original monotonous square appearance becomes lively because of the bubble-like decoration on the outer wall. It is even more beautiful at night when the colorful lights flash.

When visiting Beijing, we visited the new landmarks of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. We chose to go there at night to see the night view, which was worth the trip. The lights at night were really beautiful. Every night, the Water Cube would light up with blue lights, which would change colors from time to time, and contrast with the red lights of the Bird's Nest (National Stadium) next to it, like "ice and fire". The lights of the Water Cube would be turned off around 21:30-10:00 p.m.

The Water Cube is the swimming and diving sports center of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. It is the venue for swimming and diving competitions. Many water athletes cut through the waves here, and the Chinese diving dream team won glory for the country here. It is square in shape and blue is the color of blue water, hence the name Water Cube. It can self-luminous and change into various colors.

The National Aquatics Center is worth a visit, whether you like swimming or not. The photos I took include exterior views, partial interior views (which help us understand the secret of the Water Cube's glow), night views, and what I call Fantasia (fantasy) works.

The National Aquatics Center, also known as the "Water Cube" and the "Ice Cube", is located in the Beijing Olympic Park, Chaoyang District, Beijing (No. 11, Tianchen East Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing). Construction began on December 24, 2003 and was officially completed in January 2008. On November 27, 2020, the renovation project of the curling venue for the Winter Olympics at the National Aquatics Center passed the completion acceptance, and the "Water Cube" was transformed into the "Ice Cube". The National Aquatics Center is a boutique venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a classic renovation venue for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. It is also the only Olympic venue donated by compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese. It was once rated as one of the "Top Ten New Architectural Wonders in China".

The total construction area of ​​the National Aquatics Center is 65,000-80,000 square meters, of which the underground construction area is no less than 15,000 square meters. The length, width and height are 177 meters × 177 meters × 30 meters respectively. The appearance of the venue is like an ice crystal cube, with a simple and modern shape. The interior of the venue is a six-story building with a square plan. The facilities in the venue mainly include a competition hall, a warm-up pool, a multi-functional hall and a large water park. The "Ice Cube" Ice Sports Center is located in the underground space of the South Square of the National Aquatics Center. The overall construction area is about 8,000 square meters. It consists of a standard ice rink of 1,830 square meters and a standard curling venue with four 45 meters × 5 meters and supporting service facilities.
The National Aquatics Center is an internationally advanced center that integrates swimming, sports, fitness and leisure. It will become a water entertainment center for Beijing citizens. The National Aquatics Center uses the underground space of the South Square to build two ice surfaces, one for standard ice rinks and the other for curling. They will serve as the curling experience base in the Olympic Center, providing an open platform for the public and helping 300 million people participate in ice and snow sports. Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, praised the "Ice Cube" as a model for the sustainable development of Olympic venues.

When I took my children to Beijing for a trip, since they all like swimming and didn't have time during the day, I took them to the Asian Games Village to see the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest at night. It was already past seven o'clock, but the park was still very lively. There were many interesting venues here. The children were very happy and ran around to see the lights on the Water Cube at night, which made it even more dreamy and colorful. It was also a taste of the Olympic spirit.

The Water Cube is so beautiful under the bright lights. I used to come here during the day and didn't think it was anything special. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful and dreamy at night. The children were swimming inside, but I didn't go in. I was already intoxicated just by looking at the outside.

As the main venue for the water events of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Water Cube is worth visiting for tourists. However, you need to pay a ticket to visit the Water Cube, and the ticket fee is 30 yuan. At night, the exterior lights of the Water Cube will light up and change colors from time to time. The lighting effect is very dreamy, and it complements the Bird's Nest next to it at night. The swimming pool area inside the Water Cube is divided into two parts, one is the swimming lane part, and the other is the diving part. The seats in the audience stand are also different in color, and it looks like a "water drop" from the opposite side.

The Water Cube is located to the west of the Bird's Nest. It was the main venue for the swimming and diving competitions of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. It is now open to the public and visitors can enter. Tickets are free for people over 70 years old. The Water Cube has now become a place for people to swim, exercise, and relax. You can take the No. 13 bus from Beijing West Railway Station to get there directly, and the transportation is convenient.

The National Aquatics Center, also known as the "Water Cube" and "Ice Cube", is located in the Olympic Park in Chaoyang District, Beijing. Construction began on December 24, 2003 and was completed in January 2008. On November 27, 2020, the renovation of the National Aquatics Center's Winter Olympics curling venue passed the completion acceptance, and the "Water Cube" was transformed into the "Ice Cube". This venue is also the only Olympic venue built with donations from Hong Kong, Macao and overseas Chinese.

The Water Cube and the Bird's Nest are both Olympic venues and are now open to the public. Actually, if you don't bring your children to play in the water or there are no diving competitions, there's nothing much to see in the Water Cube; and if there are no concerts or other activities at the Bird's Nest, it's just rows of seats, and there's nothing much to see.
But the night view of the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest is very beautiful, including the Linglong Tower and the various changing colors. In addition to Beijing's Yanshan Mountains, this is the landscape on the northernmost central axis of Beijing. There is also the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest. Not far north is the Olympic Forest Park, which is still worth going. It is the only wetland and environmental protection park in Beijing. Except for Daoxiang Lake, it is the most down-to-earth design.

The National Aquatics Center (Water Cube) is one of the iconic venues of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the only Olympic venue built with donations from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese. Adhering to the business philosophy of "social benefits first, economic benefits first", the Water Cube relies on the favorable opportunity of building "Humanistic Beijing, Technological Beijing, Green Beijing" and "World City", and takes advantage of the strong social influence of hosting the Olympic Games. Since its opening at the end of September 2008, it has received wide acclaim from all walks of life. As of July 30, 2011, the Water Cube has received 7.5 million tourists from home and abroad, an average of more than 10,000 people per day, and has been rated as the most popular tourist destination by the public.

During the 2008 Olympic Games, the Water Cube (National Aquatics Center) hosted swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo and other competitions. It can accommodate 17,000 spectator seats, including 6,000 permanent seats and 11,000 temporary seats during the Olympic Games (to be removed after the Games). After the Games, it became a center with international advanced level, integrating swimming, sports, fitness and leisure.

🌈️Beijing Tourism | Must-visit attractions: Water Cube

🌈️The Water Cube (National Aquatics Center) is located on the north side of Beijing city. It is the main swimming pool built by Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics and one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The building is very peculiar. The outer wall is composed of more than 3,000 irregular air bubbles, which look like water molecules in the blue sea from a distance.

🌈️The lights are gorgeous at night, and it is a great place to take night photos. When you visit the Water Cube and the sunlight shines in, you will find that there is not just one layer of bubbles that make up the outer wall, but several layers. It's as if you have entered the stacked bubbles, the fairy tale world of the Little Mermaid. The Water Cube and the Bird's Nest face each other across the street. It is a must-visit attraction in the Olympic Park. The lights in the Water Cube are turned off at about 9:30 in the evening. It is very spectacular. It is worthy of being the National Aquatics Center. The night view is especially stunning.

I have always wanted to go see it since the 2008 Olympics. This time when I traveled to Beijing, the Water Cube became one of my must-sees. I checked the guide and found that it was not very impressive during the day, so I put it on the itinerary after dark. The beautiful Water Cube appeared in front of me, changing between various colors, and there were the numbers 2019. The overall look was very spectacular.

It is worth a visit. After all, it is the site of the 2008 Olympic swimming competition. The facilities are first-class and there are various exhibitions and activities in the venue.

It's because the Olympics is so famous. We rode our bikes there from the alley after eating. We were exercising to lose weight at that time, so it only took a few minutes to travel a few kilometers. It's not that fun, but it's still a landmark tourist spot in Beijing.

Summary: Very shocking, many people, really worth a visit
Although they are man-made and not natural products, the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are definitely works of art. The success of the Beijing Olympics speaks for itself!
I started to see the Bird's Nest, and I was so tired that I wanted to go back, but then I thought I had to see the Water Cube after all.
The moment the lights came on, the whole place cheered, and many people took photos.
Record it.

The Water Cube was the main venue for the swimming events of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Summer Games. Its current function is the National Aquatics Center. It is located in the Olympic Park in the north of Beijing, opposite the National Sports Center, the Bird's Nest. The exterior facade adopts an inflatable bubble design, which is very beautiful when lit at night. The surrounding Linglong Tower is also very beautiful.

There is an interactive moon exhibition at the entrance. When you enter the venue, you can see a big moon hanging in the sky, followed by photos of the moon and the author's introduction. This exhibition is designed based on China's Chang'e, and is equipped with lights, videos and explanations to show us the moon. This is the first time to show in China, it is great

I watched a few games there during the 2008 Olympics. Since I live in Beijing, I pass by there often, but never thought about doing anything there. A few days ago, an event planned by a friend happened to be held there. I didn't expect there would be so many tourists there now. Maybe I would always feel a little regretful if I don't go there once.

On the way to the Water Cube, in the southwest corner, on Beichen West Road near the Fourth Ring Road, I found a huge maple tree, blooming like fire, with fallen leaves all over the ground. I was reminded of Xi Murong's "A Flowering Tree", doesn't it look like a bunch of flowers? Haha

It is very spectacular, worthy of being the National Swimming Pool ~ Especially the night view, which is very stunning. In addition to taking the same old panoramic photos, you can also try to take silhouettes of people ~ But please note that the landscape lights will be turned off around 9:30.

This is a scenic spot located in Beijing Olympic Park and also the venue for the swimming and diving events in 2008. The outer area is open to citizens for leisure and exercise, while the inner area is controlled by appointment.

The Water Cube lights up earlier than the Bird's Nest at night, which is very beautiful and will turn into colorful colors. The Bird's Nest is red, and the Bird's Nest usually lights up later. If you are with a tour group, it is not easy to find the right time, so you should consult the tour group in advance.

Opposite the Bird's Nest is the Water Cube, which looks very cute, like big bubbles. When we went there, although the Chinese word "Water Cube" was still written, the English word "ICE CUBE" had been changed. At the end of 2018, the Water Cube was officially transformed into the Ice Cube. The pool in front of the Water Cube is very beautiful, with layers of light ripples inside, which can't be seen without careful observation.
From the inside, these big bubbles are even more dreamy. The dark blue seats and the azure swimming pool are full of dreamy blue. The water park on the other side also has many facilities, and there were people playing in it that day.

The so-called "beauty is in the water" is the Water Cube [knock][knock][knock]
People who are good at swimming have good figures and good cardiopulmonary function. With such strong support, how can one word describe it?
The Bird's Nest is on the right and the Water Cube is on the left, a few hundred meters away. The Water Cube is a venue designed and built specifically for the Olympic swimming competitions... Again, just look at the night view from outside. You don't need tickets to enter the venue. Large swimming pools around the world, plus the stands, all look the same.

Inside the Water Cube in Beijing, there is a lunar museum and a special exhibition called "Chinese Super Moon". It is reported that the exhibition will present the unique "moonlight like water" of the Olympic venue Water Cube through a 10-meter diameter "moon" hanging in the competition hall of the Water Cube and its reflection in the swimming pool, with lights, music, videos, etc. Each culture has a different relationship with the moon, which varies from country to country. Therefore, whether it is exhibited in China, the United States, India or Europe, audiences with different cultural backgrounds will have different interpretations.

The Water Cube is divided into two parts: the water park and the swimming pool. One part of the swimming pool is used for teaching, and the other part is used for swimming team competitions and practice. The temperature inside is relatively high, and it is relatively warm in all seasons. If you go to the water park, it is recommended to play for 3-4 hours, and it is more convenient to bring your own food.

The Water Cube is directly opposite the Bird's Nest. It is now a must-see attraction for tourists. When the lights are turned on at night, the Water Cube will change into many colors. Personally, I think blue is more suitable. If you have the chance, you can go inside and take a look around.

It’s my first time to travel to Beijing. I can’t miss the Olympic venues. You can go inside the Bird’s Nest and visit it. The Water Cube is closed at night. The lights outside are very beautiful and it’s great for taking photos! !

This is also the venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games water sports! It was newly built at that time! It is a bit old now! But it is still a must-visit place for most tourists! It is still quite popular!

I was traveling in Beijing for two or three days. I had nothing to do at night so I picked up a bicycle to stroll around the city. Before I knew it, I arrived at the Water Cube. It was really beautiful at night.

The Water Cube and the Bird's Nest to the east are round and square, reflecting the Chinese architectural concept of "the sky is round and the earth is square". The Water Cube embodies the feminine beauty.

The transportation here is very convenient. There is a bus route outside the Water Cube that ends directly at the train station. The operation time of this route is also very long, and there are night buses around midnight. You can check the map for details.

The Water Cube, also known as the National Aquatics Center, is located in the Beijing Olympic Park. I chose to see the night view at night, and I think it is much more beautiful than the daytime view in 2008, and it is more three-dimensional. The "Water Cube" and the "Bird's Nest" are only separated by a road, one square and one round, one blue and one red, forming a delicate and balanced relationship. The Chinese are awesome!

Water Cube
The National Aquatics Center, also known as the "Water Cube", is located in the Beijing Olympic Park. It is the main swimming pool built by Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics and one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Its design is the "Water Cube" ([H2O]3) plan produced through a global design competition. It and the National Stadium (commonly known as the Bird's Nest) are located on both sides of the north end of the Beijing city axis, together forming a relatively complete image of Beijing as a historical and cultural city. The National Aquatics Center is planned to be built on 62,950 square meters of land, with a total construction area of ​​65,000-80,000 square meters, of which the underground construction area is not less than 15,000 square meters, and the length, width and height are 177m × 177m × 30m respectively. During the 2008 Olympic Games, the National Aquatics Center will host swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo and other competitions. It can accommodate 17,000 spectator seats, of which 6,000 are permanent spectator seats, and 11,000 temporary seats will be added during the Olympic Games (to be removed after the Games). After the competition, it will become a center with international advanced level, integrating swimming, sports, fitness and leisure.

The National Aquatics Center, also known as the "Water Cube", is located at No. 11, Tianchen East Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, in the Beijing Olympic Park. It is the main swimming pool for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and a landmark building for the Beijing Olympic Games.
The Water Cube is more suitable for visiting at night to see the night view, and you can also bring your children to visit and play inside.

The Water Cube is in the Olympic Park. Take Metro Line 8 and get off at the Olympic Sports Center Station, then walk a short distance to get there. We went there on April 11 this year. The night view there was beautiful, but it was very windy that night and there was almost no one near the Water Cube. We had to visit it from outside and then find something to buy and eat inside the park. Overall, it's pretty good. It would be even better if it could be open to the public.

[Scenery] There are many lilacs blooming outside the Water Cube now. Unfortunately, it is impossible to borrow the scenery.
[Fun] You can consider taking your children to swim in the venue. There is also an exhibition to see.
[Value for money] The ticket price is normal, but it is recommended to go in for sports activities, as if the value for money is higher. It is not worth it just for visiting.

The night view is super beautiful!!! However, you have to pay attention to the time when the landscape lights are turned off at night, otherwise you won’t be able to see the spectacular lights. In addition to taking panoramic photos, you can also take partial silhouette photos standing in front of the Water Cube.

The "Olympic" Water Cube is located in the Beijing Olympic Park and is one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The Water Cube is the world's largest membrane structure project and is the most representative new architectural form in the 21st century.

Designed to be a container for a huge crowd, it creates a distinctive and indelible impression from both a distance and up close. Inside the stadium, this uniform bowl-shaped structure will arouse the excitement of the spectators and enable the athletes to perform beyond their level.

The Beijing Water Cube is an amazing architectural gem! Its unique bubble design looks stunning, especially when lit up at night. Originally built for the 2008 Olympics, it is now a fun water park with exciting slides and pools. The atmosphere is great for families and is a cool mix of history and entertainment. Whether you are visiting the Olympic past or just taking a moment, it is definitely worth a look in Beijing!

As a sports lover, it was a great experience to see this place. The cube was an innovative design for the Olympics and till date, this huge building still impresses.

The Water Cube is located in the Olympic Sports Center. It is a must-go place for many people who come to Beijing to see the night view. Many people come here to take pictures. Maybe because the Olympic Sports Center is so big, it doesn’t feel crowded and empty at all. It is a great place for an evening walk!

Many people who come to Beijing must visit the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest, not only because it is a symbol of China's march toward the Olympics, but more importantly, it proves that in the new era China has a brand new display of architectural concepts and conceptual new architectural thinking. The scenery is beautiful and pleasant, the activities to be enjoyed here are extremely interesting, and the price-performance ratio is relatively good. For a world-class metropolis like Beijing, it is already affordable!

This is my third visit to the Water Cube. Unfortunately, I came too late the first two times and only saw the Water Cube with the lights turned off.
This time I finally saw the shining Water Cube.
It can change into various colors: red, blue, purple, orange, and green. The colorful Water Cube is really beautiful.
I couldn't help but take some photos of tourists. There are so many tourists in the Olympic Park~

The Beijing National Aquatics Center, also known as the Water Cube, is located in the Olympic Center, not far from the Bird's Nest. It is a new attraction that you must visit when you go to Beijing. It can be reached by taking Metro Line 8, which is quite convenient. If you want to enter the venue, it costs 50 yuan, and you can swim for two hours. It is a very cost-effective place, much cheaper than visiting the Bird's Nest.

You must go at night. The view during the day is not as good as at night. I arrived at 6 o'clock and it was pitch dark. The lights were on when I arrived. It was beautiful. I happened to catch the Moonlight Like Water exhibition. I added 30 yuan to go in and take a look. The price of taking photos at the Water Cube can be said to be the most conscientious in Beijing. 20 yuan includes laminating and card holder, and also gives a keychain. Compared with the 20 yuan plus 5 yuan for laminating at Tiananmen Square, the 68 yuan per photo at Madame Tussauds is really worth it.

The Water Cube is located in the Olympic Park, opposite the Bird's Nest. It is the main swimming pool built by Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics and one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It is very beautiful to watch it at night with its colorful lights. However, it is really crowded during the National Day holiday. I will come back to enjoy it if I have the chance.

The National Aquatics Center is planned to occupy 62,950 square meters of land for construction, with a total construction area of ​​65,000-80,000 square meters, of which the underground construction area is no less than 15,000 square meters. The length, width and height are 177m × 177m × 30m respectively.
During the 2008 Olympic Games, the National Aquatics Center hosted swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo and other competitions. It can accommodate 17,000 spectator seats, including 6,000 permanent spectator seats and 11,000 temporary seats during the Olympic Games (to be removed after the Games).

When the lights come on, the Water Cube transforms into something crystal clear, radiant, and even dreamlike. The Water Cube is both strong and soft, with warm and charming colorful bubbles. The past scenes seem to reappear, and everything is still so beautiful.

The Water Cube is also called the National Aquatics Center. It is open to the public. There is also a water park, which is suitable for children to play. There is also a conference address inside. It is worth a visit, but the ticket is a bit expensive. If you are not swimming, it is a bit of a loss.

The design of the National Aquatics Center is the "Water Cube" ([H2O]3) plan that was selected through a global design competition. The plan was jointly designed by China State Construction Engineering Corporation, PTW Architects of Australia, and ARUP Australia Ltd.

After the renovation, the Water Cube has a brand new environment, and it is very attractive during the day and at night. Of course, it is best to go there to experience swimming and feel the environment and water quality of the competition venue.

The name "Water Cube" is also very descriptive. Its appearance adopts a membrane structure, highlighting the image of "water". It is very creative.

Today, the Water Cube is also one of the best venues for post-Olympic use. It has become a good place for citizens to relax and have fun.

The ticket to visit the Water Cube alone is 30 yuan, or you can buy a swimming ticket to experience the Olympic track. You can visit it at the same time as the Bird's Nest.

When I went to see the Bird's Nest, I found that the Water Cube was also nearby, and I saw the Water Cube first when I went in. The appearance is very special, and the special membrane looks like it will break, but it is actually very solid. It seems that you can go inside, and there are quite a lot of people around.

The Water Cube is the National Aquatics Center. It is located together with the Bird's Nest on both sides of a square. It is extremely beautiful at night. The shape of the Water Cube changes color, and its honeycomb-like appearance is very handsome and distinctive.

The designers did not do any unnecessary treatment to the venue, leaving the structure exposed, thus naturally forming the appearance of the building. The Water Cube will begin to be transformed into the Ice Cube next year in preparation for the Winter Olympics.

Very good, very good, great experience, the children are very happy

The Water Cube (National Aquatics Center) is located in the Beijing Olympic Park. It is the main swimming pool built by Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics and is also one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The Water Cube is very beautiful. It felt a bit messy when I first entered, with all kinds of souvenirs on the road. The swimming and diving venues are still intact, with good lighting and beautiful aqua blue color. On the other side of the venue is a large water park, which is very crowded during the summer vacation and looks exciting and fun.

The Bird's Nest and the Water Cube are located near the central axis of Beijing. These are some of the most representative buildings in Beijing. The reason for choosing to build here is that the terrain is open and flat, and the transportation is relatively convenient. However, it is an old cemetery in Beijing. Many coffins and bones were dug out at the beginning of construction. However, everyone is an atheist, and although they think there are some bad things, the construction still continues. But everything that happened later was not so simple.

At night, the buildings of the Olympic Park, like all buildings, are impressive, and the view often seen on Olympic TV is beautiful

The children and adults had a lot of fun, especially the wave-making show, which was his favorite. All kinds of slides can be played by children and adults. The queue is no more than 10 minutes. If you don't want to queue, go in the interval between the 4 wave-making shows. It is convenient to eat. There are lounge chairs when you are tired and robot ice cream when you are thirsty. The service is also very good. The swimming ring is free to pump air! The children can't play enough. The season ticket is really powerful. It's worth playing 2-3 times! Various interactive performances are wonderful! Come out at night to see the night view of the Beijing Water Cube Bird's Nest Olympic Sports Center. There are crowds of people and various snacks. Safety is the best in the country. It must be the most enjoyable day!

The National Aquatics Center is an internationally advanced center that integrates swimming, sports, fitness and leisure. It has become a water entertainment center for Beijing citizens. The National Aquatics Center uses the underground space of the South Square to build two ice surfaces, one for a standard ice rink and the other for curling. They will serve as the curling experience base in the Olympic Center area, providing an open platform for the public and helping 300 million people participate in ice and snow sports. Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, praised the "Ice Cube" as a model for the sustainable development of Olympic venues.

The Water Cube is so classy! ...

The Beijing Olympic Games Water Cube Swimming Memorial Exhibition reproduces the wonderful moments of Chinese swimming and the epic magnificence and glory of the Beijing Olympic Games, reflects the rich and colorful mass swimming activities, and allows the audience to share the peak moments and glory of the Chinese swimming team with empathy.

The Water Cube, also known as the National Swimming Pool, is the main venue for the Olympic swimming competition. The current ticket price is 30 yuan per person. The main purpose is to see the exhibition hall. There are also many places to eat and sell goods. There is also a water park inside, but it is charged separately. In fact, it is better to just look at the exterior of the Water Cube, especially the night view. The blue Water Cube is very beautiful.

The Water Cube is a building with unique architectural features. Its architectural elements are well matched with its function as a swimming center. In summer, when you walk near the Water Cube and see the huge blue square building, you will feel the visual coolness and clarity.

Looking at the Water Cube again more than ten years later, there is really nothing new about it.
I think it’s still too far to take the subway!
It happened to be a rainy day. I was holding an umbrella, feeling completely hopeless. The lights were even dim.
I feel like I've come to a fake Water Cube.

It is also a place where international competitions are held.

Until May 15, you can visit the Ice Cube through the official account or buy tickets on site to experience curling. You need to queue up to enter the curling hall, and there will be a dedicated person to explain the facilities of the venue. One person can experience throwing 6 stones, and throw them on the spot without getting on the ice. Although it is a simple experience, there are also dedicated people to explain the technical movements, which feels quite fun.

The Beijing Water Cube is located near the North Fourth Ring Road, close to the Bird's Nest. It is blue during the day, with a concave and convex surface like a water drop. It is most beautiful at night, with lights and changing colors, very beautiful.

As one of the landmark buildings of the Beijing Olympics, although it has been built for more than 10 years, it still looks magnificent today due to proper maintenance, especially in the afternoon under the setting sun.

This ticket is an entrance ticket, and does not include a swimming pool ticket, so I think the cost performance is average. My friend and I were careless and actually went there for swimming. But the night view is very beautiful!

The Water Cube and the Bird's Nest are both in the Olympic Park. During the Spring Festival, the number of tourists visiting the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube is very large. From the piles of shared bicycles, it can be seen that the number of tourists has reached a very high level.
