Beijing National Indoor Stadium

The Beijing National Indoor Stadium is an indoor venue in Olympic Green designed with lines inspired by a traditional folding fan. The facility holds around 18,000 spectators and accommodates various competitive sports.

This venue opened in 2007 and served as a key location during the 2008 Summer Olympics for gymnastics, trampoline, and handball competitions. Following the Games, it was adapted to serve different purposes, including ice hockey during the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The structure echoes the shape of a traditional Chinese folding fan, blending local design heritage with modern sports facilities. This visual reference is evident in how the building sits within its surroundings and how visitors experience its form.

The venue is easily accessible by public transportation, including several bus routes and subway line 10 connecting to Xiongmaohuandao Station. The location is convenient for visitors attending sporting competitions and other events held here.

The interior can be reconfigured for different event types, transforming between layouts that work for ice hockey, concerts, or other activities. This adaptability allows it to shift purposes quickly between one event and the next.
