The centerpiece of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics was the Beijing National Stadium, dubbed as “Birds Nest”. It hosted both the opening and closing ceremonies for the Beijing 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Bird’s Nest has become one of the most successful post-Olympics legacies, attracting some 20,000 to 30,000 people a day for an exterior glimpse or inside visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stadium is composed of two independent structures, with 50 feet apart: a red concrete seating bowl and the outer steel frame around it. The design of the outer steel frames look like a huge bird’s nest, hence the nickname of Beijing National Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standout stadium is now one of the hotspots for tourists and photography enthusiasts as well. It is illuminated every night from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm. The inside flood lighting produces splendidly red and yellow neon lights, turning the whole bird’s-nest-shaped structure into a magnificent burning fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best spot to shoot the Birds Nest day or night is on the southeast of the colossal building overlooking a dragon-shaped water system. At night the lit-up stadium has a beautiful reflection on the water, attracting a consistent flow of photography enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
