    On the way back to Beijing, pass by the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, two iconic and celebrated architectural wonders in Beijing, China. The Bird's Nest, officially known as the National Stadium, is a colossal and innovative sports arena that took center stage during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Its intricate steel lattice design, resembling a giant bird's nest, has earned it the nickname "Bird's Nest." This remarkable stadium has become an enduring symbol of China's modernity and its ability to host grand international events. Visitors can admire its unique architecture from the outside and occasionally attend events inside, enjoying a glimpse of China's sporting excellence. The Water Cube, officially called the National Aquatics Center, is an architectural gem renowned for its striking blue exterior, reminiscent of a cube of bubbles. It hosted swimming and diving competitions during the 2008 Olympics.
