Fun fact is that Chinese artist and dissident Ai Wei Wei collaborated with Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron as an artistic consultant on designing this project.

Absolutely incredible steelwork, amazing to see it up close and how it's intertwined. The interior is like any stadium but still so neat to see the Olympic rings everywhere, history placards, and more

Beautiful at night time. A little annoying is that they play different loud music outside the Stadium during a concert . Also the little birdnest lamps are not working anymore.

Shyam Sundar

Great views with the VIP ticket. If you want to make a day of it go for a swim in the Olympic pool.

Ooh my aching legs! Don't walk up to the stadium , its really far. Enjoy it from a distance! Its freezing cold and they are selling ice tea !

Pricilla Jayanti

This stadium is huge and super cool to see it right before my eyes!

Herbert Yang

it's quite a sight at night, but not much more. no need to arrange a tour just for it. you will see it in full view when you take a taxi driving on North 4th Rd or have dinner at nearby restaurants .

Jason Lim

A definitely must see. Be sure to get the tour or else it's a long walk around.
