Beijing National Aquatics Center

Unclaimed

Fun modern light show to visit at night from the outside, the pool passes are slightly expensive and there are better places to swim. It shares a large sprawling outside square with the Bird's Nest stadium, and in the evening you'll find a lot of people out for a leisure stroll, flying kites, or just hanging out.

The design is in simple cube shape but really amazing. By the way this aquatic is standing next to the Bird Nest International Stadium. All you can find the ticket at the entrance where they put the speaker out loud for visiter who looking for ticket to get in the Ice Cube Aquatic and Bird Nest International Stadium.

Tourist tip: better to visit at night, you can enjoy the lighting of the stadium. Take the metro line 8 and get off at Olympic Park, from there you can walk towards the Olympics Sport Center metro station. The bird nest and the water cube are in your way.. There's no need for a ticket to wander around the park, but for entering it (you can buy it there). In front of the water cube there are some food stalls.

The Water Cube or the National Aquatics Centre is a swimming centre in Beijing and is another engineering marvel. It was constructed to host the aquatics competitions at the 2008 Summer Olympics and was later used for 2022 Winter Olympics. Due to its design, it is an energy efficient building and has a capacity of 17,000. Here again as Senior Citizens, we were allowed to enter free and we are very thankful for showing us your respect. A must visit spot in Beijing.
