Located in Chaoyang, China 🇨🇳. Also known as the Olympic Green, this is where the 2008 Summer Olympic Games were held and also the 2022 Winter Olympic Games were held. Since the games, it has become a public activity centre. It’s situated 11 kilometres north of the Forbidden City, in the northern part of Beijing. The must sees of the park are the Birds Nest, the Water Cube, the Beijing National Indoor Stadium and the Olympic Forest Park. The total area covers 2,864 acres so it’s huge. The park consists of three parts. The Central area, the Olympic Forest Park in the North and the Olympic Sports Centre Stadium in the South. The Central section has the Bird’s Nest and the Water Cube. The Northern section (Forest Park) is divided into Northern and Southern areas. The Southern area is dedicated to artificial landscapes. The Northern area is closer to nature and has wilder features. The Southern section (Olympic Sports Centre Stadium) was built in 1986 and used for the Asian Games in 1990. It has the stadium, gymnasium and training fields for hockey 🏑, football 🏉, tennis 🎾 and other sports.it wasn’t a planned trip here. I came with a tour group and was a last minute add on. I am so glad we came. It’s huge. It’s really lovely to stroll and appreciate the beautiful buildings from the Olympic Games. They are so impressive and unique. Everything was built on such a Grand Scale. I particularly liked the Bird’s Nest. Very cool. There is toilet facilities but I laughed at the machine where you have to get your photo taken to get toilet paper 🧻. You only get one or two squares. Best to remember to take your own toilet paper when you’re out and about in China. We came at the end of the day so we got to see the buildings during day time and at night when they light up. We also got to have a look inside the Birds Nest. Fabulous!! We also had a look in the Olympic Museum. Some amazing things in there. I would definitely recommend a visit. Thumbs...
