Fun fact is that Chinese artist and dissident Ai Wei Wei collaborated with Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron as an artistic consultant on designing this project.

Absolutely incredible steelwork, amazing to see it up close and how it's intertwined. The interior is like any stadium but still so neat to see the Olympic rings everywhere, history placards, and more

Beautiful at night time. A little annoying is that they play different loud music outside the Stadium during a concert. Also the little birdnest lamps are not working anymore.

It was disappointing that #8 subway line didn't stop at either one of the Olympic stations. Unsure if they are doing some track work during weekends or something to do with APAC this week (11/2/2014)

Beautiful venue, we were here in 2008 for the Olympics, saw Bolt break the world record and win the gold medal. Great family memories 😄👍

Great views with the VIP ticket. If you want to make a day of it go for a swim in the Olympic pool.

A definitely must see. Be sure to get the tour or else it's a long walk around.
Herbert YangApril 24, 2012
it's quite a sight at night, but not much more. no need to arrange a tour just for it. you will see it in full view when you take a taxi driving on North 4th Rd or have dinner at nearby restaurants.

Here Bolt added a 2nd Beijing gold in the 200m,breaking M.Johnson's 12-year WR with a time of 19.30.Bolt later capped his unforgettable Games with another WR & gold medal in the 4x100m relay
