National Stadium

It's easier to access from the left side (coming from the city center). If you like running, you can run outside the stadium easily, and you have a long straight peatonal street to run near the stadium.

Who can continuously bring here for 3yrs (right after the covid lockdowns) and with more and more shows to be added, only Mayday. At least so far… (written on Aug 2 2025) With their amazing lights controls and sound effects, especially when I know they are one of the winners of red dot design award. (B’IN Music TW) It feels you are just enjoy the music itself but you are attend a grand event. The journey doesn’t stop here, but from the past to the future. After the 2008 Olympic, they are the first group to held a concert here and which opens this market to the public. Honestly it’s a quite challenging experience for them to solve the serious echo problem and long distance stages, screens and all the settings of the music instruments/equipments… A place can hold near 100K audience, building area 258,000 square meters and covers an area of 20.4 hectares. Mayday is trying to present the best of their music, with efforts, heart, souls and so many love… Which everyone shall can felt that spirit and enjoys the show… All the best to be here, and everywhere. Finally, we reach the destination, called it's you makes me stronger with love. 13 shows in 2025, 43 shows in the Bird's nest as of 2025

Beijing National Stadium or fondly known as Bird Nest Stadium. It was designed for 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. This stadium has hosted many international and national events as well as concerts since. The stadium is spacious and beautifully decorated with commemorative plaque and pictures. Ticket can be purchased at the booth just outside the stadium or online. Visitors have the chance to climb to the top of the stadium and get a panoramic view of the surroundings.

The National Stadium in Beijing also called the Bird’s Nest is an engineering marvel.  It covers an area of 204,000 square meters and has a capacity of 91,000. It costed USD 428M and  was officially completed in June 2008. It is owned and operated by a partnership company between Beijing Municipal State-and CITIC Group. It was used for Olymics in 2008 for Summer Olympics and for winter Olympics in 2022. Though you have to buy a ticket to enter, when we visited, we were allowed to go in free as Senior Citizens. We are really very thankful for the sweet gesture.

Visited at night when the stadium is lit up and looks beautiful. There are many shops and small eateries open at night and is a good way place to bring the family for a stroll after dinner. About 30mins subway ride from Wang Fu Jing station.

The Bird’s Nest stands there, wide and open like a great bird ready to take flight. Its lines are sharp, its shape strange but sure. The space inside is big, hollow, and echoes with the weight of many feet. It feels like the future has landed here, a place made of steel and dreams. You look at it and it feels strong and wild at the same time. The air around it hums with life and memory. It’s not just a stadium — it is a story told in iron and sky. Simple. Bold. True.

Oh yes. This is absolutely a beautiful place. The architecture of the stadium is amazing. Even the whole area is wide and open so it's easy to walk around. If there is an event, obviously there a many people but except for road crossing is everything smooth. There are also some small food and vendors so no need to worry about your stomach. Thank you🤩

The Bird's Nest Stadium is an architectural marvel and a must-visit when in Beijing. The design is breathtaking, and its historical significance as the centerpiece of the 2008 Olympics adds to the experience. The stadium's intricate steel structure is even more impressive up close, and it’s beautifully lit at night, creating a spectacular sight.

There's a museum inside that provides fascinating insights into the stadium's construction and its role in the Olympics. It's easy to get to by public transport, and there are plenty of amenities nearby. Overall, the Bird’s Nest combines history, design, and cultural significance, making it a highlight of any Beijing visit!
