For some reason, despite not having that much free time, I was very very keen to visit the Olympic Park, if only to view the external structures. After consulting 2 friends, a very complicated subway map involving 4 changes and more than 1.5 hours, I succumbed like the lazy tourist and decided to hop into a cab instead. It took me only 30minutes and CNY30 and was a much better decision considering I managed to leave work only around 5.30pm.
Night had fallen by the time I arrived, and the Bird's Nest was already lit up in orange and yellow lights.

I didn't manage to go in because closing time was 630pm. Believe it has been converted into an ice skating rink of sorts. If you take a peek from the gate, you can see the various country flags still hanging around the inside.
I love the complex metal patterns that encompass the stadium.
The shape of the Bird's Nest changes as you walk around it, as you can see from these series of photos I took as I walked around the huge building.
