It is an iconic structure throughout China and it's breathtaking. It was the venue for the opening and closing of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. A visit to the Bird's Nest was high on my bucket list and I am so happy I was not disappointed.
The stadium's construction is simply breathtaking and there is no other way to describe it other than mesmerising.response / report this review -

So we started our day today much like the others. Up by 0700 and after eating are free breakfast and drinking some caffeine (coffee) we are on our way to the subway by 0830. This time we headed to the Temple of Heavens Park Area. This was a nice large green grass park area with more sights to see. During our walk through the area we concentrate on seeing the Harvest Halls. Then the Seven Stones. Shortly after that we went to the Wangfujing Shopping Mall. We had some Starbucks and walked around. It seemed to be very expensive compared to our malls in the states. The overall impression was that I was underdressed and underpaid. We then got back on the subway and went to the Beijing Zoo. Of course, the first animal we wanted to see was the Giant Panda. After the zoo we went back to the hotel to rest and get some plans together again. Then we went back to the silk market to get some more souvenirs and bought some last minute deals before boarding the planes. Then we headed straight to the Olympic site to see the infamous cube and the birds nest. Timing was great. Only waited about an hour for total darkness to watch everything light up at night. Took lots of photos and we even flew some kind on miniature kites there. After that we decided to take a cab back to save some time. We pay around 70 yaun for it. It just helped us realize how much money we saved all week by using the subway system. Then we got some local meat chicken stick and had noodles, rice and the pot stickers in the hotel room. Packed up some clothes for tomorrow and waited for the final and biggest tourist spot of them all! Our guide called and we are heading to the great wall tomorrow morning at 0800. It was a birthday wish and life long goal of mine for several years now It is coming true tomorrow. Thanks be to God!

Worth a look if you like the Olympics. Get the full tour and walk on the roof. You read that correctly. 110 local currency. Iconic structure.
You can get lost as the exit point is very small compared to the stadium.response / report this review -

the main stadium for the 2010 Beijing Olympic illuminated with beautiful lights on the other end of the park.
The architecture for this stadium represents a birds nest and hence name. It has fascinated many people around the world with its unusual design and architecture during its construction and still does so to those who come to visit.
You can enter the stadium with a special ticket, but we did not opt for that and took some pictures from outsideresponse / report this review -

A wonderful open air arena. I went on a drizzly day but it was still very nice. There was a huge screen that was playing highlights from the 2008 Olympics hanging in the field. And also there was something that I had only seen in one other place in all of China, a drinkable water fountian. Its really nice to just walk around for a couple of hours and to climb to the highest seats.

Gigantic Dome of all domes! Beautiful architectural marvel. I only saw it during the daytime, so I would have liked to seen it lit up at night too.
