The Birds’ Nest is where the 2008 Beijing Olympics took place. It is called the Birds’ Nest because the person who designed it tried to make it look like a birds nest. It is a huge stadium capable of holding around 50,000 people. Around the stadium there are several parks with monuments and statues to see, and there is also the pool where the swimming events took place.
