The Olympic Park covers a vast area and essentially hosted most of the functions during the Olympic Games,
including sports venues, the Olympic Village, and corresponding supporting facilities… Nowadays, it’s mainly used for concerts, conferences, and exhibitions~~
By the way, this is Beijing’s 8th AAAAA-rated tourist attraction, and admission is free~~~~
Meanwhile, the Bird’s Nest and the Water Cube charge separate admission fees for visits, and it seems you can also swim in the Water Cube.
The day I visited was the first day of the Qingming Festival holiday; the weather was beautiful, but it was very crowded~~~
The Linglong Tower is the tallest structure in the Olympic Park. It was primarily used for event broadcasting at the time;
floors 2-6 house studios, and the 7th floor is an observation deck.

It’s rare to have such beautiful weather in Beijing
There’s also the Xin’ao Shopping Center nearby, which has quite a lot of food options~~~
Inside, there are various giant musical instruments, such as this drum and the set of bronze bells…
