Capital Indoor Stadium

The Capital Indoor Stadium is recognizable by its expansive, modernist concrete form, a structure that has defined this corner of Beijing since it opened in nineteen sixty-eight. As the country's first artificial indoor ice rink, the stadium was built as a centerpiece of national sports development. Its silhouette and vast interior have hosted decades of athletic and cultural events, serving as a rare venue that functioned as a stage for both the two thousand eight Summer Olympics and the two thousand twenty-two Winter Olympics.
