This world famous stadium was built during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It is also called the Bird's Nest Stadium due to it's similar design.
The home ground for the Beijing Olympics, the majestic and spectacular Beijing National Stadium (BNS) was built in just 4 years between 2003 and 2007. The stadium uses random steal beams to hide those required for the movable roof, and in doing so the steal beams gave the stadium the look of a bird's nest. After the Olympics, the 80000 seater stadium as largely been used to host football matches, concerts, and some athletic events. There are plans to build a shopping mall and a hotel to attract a larger public towards it. If you're visiting Beijing for the first time, this stunning stadium is worth a look.
