Located on the Olympic site, the stadium was the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics in 2008. With an area of 258,000 m ², with a capacity of 91,000 seats, the «bird nest» is the work of the Herzog & de Meuron group of architects, and of the Chinese consultant Ai Weiwei. Its construction began with great pomp in December 2003 to finish in 2008. It is 330 m long, 220 m wide and 69 m high. The cost of construction is estimated at EUR 325 million. It is now used to host major sports and cultural events in the municipality.

Vu le manque d'animation et d'indications, la visite du stade n'est pas une priorité lors de la visite de Pékin, l'extérieur est suffisant, surtout de nuit
