Beijing National Aquatics Center, also known as “Water Cube” or “Ice Cube”, was a quality venue of the Olympic Games Beijing 2008 and classical reconstruction venue of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. As the only Olympic venue built under generous donations of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots and overseas Chinese, Beijing National Aquatics Center integrates seven functions in one, i.e., venue of international events, promoter of Olympic culture, place of mass fitness and leisure, hub of water and ice sports, landmark of urban culture and tourism, carrier of cultural performances and social welfare undertakings. It was awarded the trophy of “Sport and Sustainable Architecture 2019” by the International Olympic Committee. It really sets a good example for post-Games utilization of Olympic venues.
