Overview

The National Stadium, also known as the "Bird's Nest," was the main venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. It is also the world's first venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of both the Summer and Winter Olympics. As a landmark building representing the national image, the Bird's Nest transcends the purely sporting or architectural concept, carrying profound social significance, and has become a platform for international exchanges and an important window to showcase China's image. The Auspicious Cloud Golden Hall is located on the second floor of the Bird's Nest, with gold as the main theme, matched with red carpets and auspicious cloud patterns. The patterns on the walls and top are all peace doves, with a total of two thousand and eight peace doves. The wall decorations are lacquer ornaments made by Beijing Qibaozhai, and twenty-eight red carved lacquer murals with fifty-six sides form a "Prosperous Harmony" picture. The front mural is a "Magpie on the Branch" picture made with brocade lacquer mural craftsmanship. In the Flowing Silver Hall, hand-painted traditional Chinese sports such as polo, Cuju, weightlifting, and Go games outline a historical scroll of the development of Chinese sports. Stepping out of the VIP hall, you will find the Beijing Winter Olympics Pictures and VIP Items Exhibition, which displays a series of pictures, souvenirs, and staff uniforms from the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics, showcasing the behind-the-scenes of the ice and snow event. Strolling through it, you can feel the charm and style of the Winter Olympics and awaken beautiful memories of the Winter Olympics. The "Bird's Nest Joyful Shopping" sales counter is a unique official Bird's Nest souvenir carefully created by a professional design team. The Bird's Nest cultural and creative products with commemorative significance attract tourists to line up and pick them, and they take the "Bird's Nest" home. Passing through the hall, take the elevator to the fifth floor of the Bird's Nest. The first thing you see is the Olympic Cultural Heritage Corridor. The props and competition equipment from the 2008 Olympic Games opening ceremony, such as fou, guzheng, bamboo slips, and other opening ceremony performance props, as well as competition equipment such as shot puts, javelins, and oars. Being in the corridor is dazzling, as if returning to the hot summer of the 2008 Olympic Games. Climbing to the top of the Bird's Nest, you can see the urban central axis in the south, the Linglong Tower and Olympic Tower in the north, and overlook the red interior of the Bird's Nest stadium, the sparkling dragon-shaped water system, and the layers of greenery in the Olympic Park central area, all with distinct colors and a panoramic view.
