Vous serez émerveillé par l'architecture de ces deux magnifiques bâtiments.

Le Stade national de Pékin, plus communément appelé le Nid d'oiseau, a été construit pour les Jeux olympiques de 2008, pour un coût de 423 millions de dollars.

Bien que relativement nouveau dans le paysage pékinois, le Stade national est devenu une attraction incontournable.

Not far from the Bird's Nest, there is the National Aquatics Center, also known as Water Cube. Its creative design concept is originated from the arrangement pattern of cells and natural structure of soap bubbles. The huge square box was produced by combining modern technologies with traditional Chinese culture. In the past, Chinese ancestors believed that the sky is round while the earth is square, and that is the way nature keeps harmonious. The square Water Cube together with the round Bird's Nest, embody and interpret this idea very well. Then, we will transfer to Jingshan Park and enjoy panoramic view of Forbidden City from Jingshan.
