Arrive at the tour disbandment point around 16:50: Olympic Green. You can visit two major iconic buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games on your own: the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. The Bird's Nest is famous for its "woven steel structure," with an exterior as intricate as a real bird's nest, featuring a natural, rustic, magnificent, and unique form.

The National Aquatics Center, or "Water Cube," is adjacent to the Bird's Nest, positioned symmetrically with it across the central axis. One square and one round, one rigid and one soft, they form a striking contrast. Under the night lights, it takes on a dreamy blue color, shining brilliantly. The membrane material is corrosion-resistant, provides both thermal insulation and light transmission, and is the world's largest membrane structure project.
