The Bird’s Nest National Stadium, built for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, is one of China’s most famous modern landmarks. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron with artist Ai Weiwei, its steel lattice structure gives it the nickname “Bird’s Nest.” The stadium hosts major sporting events, concerts, and national celebrations, with a capacity of over 80,000 spectators. Today, it symbolizes China’s global presence in sports and architecture, as well as Beijing’s modern identity.
