Le Nid d'Oiseau est officiellement appelé Stade National. Il a été conçu et construit pour les cérémonies d'ouverture et de clôture, les épreuves sportives et la finale de football des Jeux olympiques d'été de 2008 à Pékin. Inspiré de l'étude de la céramique chinoise, le design a utilisé des poutres en acier pour dissimuler les supports du toit rétractable, donnant au stade l'apparence d'un nid d'oiseau. Le Cube d'Eau est le nom familier du Centre aquatique national ; il a été construit à côté du Stade national, dans le Parc olympique, pour les compétitions de natation des Jeux olympiques d'été de 2008.
