Beijing - National Stadium (Bird’s Nest) （鸟巢）& National Aquatic Centre (Water Cube) （水立方）

Hello Beijing!

Towards the end of our trip, we didn’t travel far or outskirt of the city but we chose to walk around BeiJing city. So here we are, Olympic Sports Centre! Beijing hosted the Olympic back in year 2008 and here is the place where all records were created!

Lovely autumn.

It was a good evening, slightly hazy and breezy. Not too bad for a scroll :)

It is easy to get to Olympic Sports Centre via MRT, both Line 8 and 15 stop at Olympic Green Station. The sports centre is very big in area and two main attractions there would be the National Stadium (Bird’s Nest) 国家体育场 （鸟巢）as well as the National Aquatic Centre (Water Cube) 国家游泳中心（水立方）!

Part of the Sports Centre's layout. The place is really huge!

 Mascots of Beijing Olympic 2008!

The iconic national stadium from far!

Haha, it still looked better from far.... >.<  we were so closed that we got to see tangled wires..

When the sky turned dark and the light was on :)

We were quite surprised to find this McDonald inside the stadium! Time for a hot coffee since temperature dropped so much when the sky turned dark!

The water cube! The crowd was getting more at night. It is better to reach here by evening :)

Admission fee: Free (Charges applied for some short tours and admission to certain section).

How to get there: Via MRT, both Line 8 and 15 stopped at Olympic Green Station
