The Beijing Olympic Park is divided into three parts: the Olympic Forest Park of 6.8 square kilometers in the north, the central area of 3.15 square kilometers in the middle, and the built and reserved area (Olympic Sports Center) of 1.64 square kilometers in the south.
Built and reserved areas were originally
National Olympic Sports Center
Located in the area south of North Fourth Ring Road and east of Beichen Road, all venues were venues for the 1990 Asian Games - including the Olympic Sports Center Stadium, the Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium and the Yingdong Swimming Pool. The southern reserve will be developed as a cultural business district. The central area is located in the middle of the Olympic Park, south of Kehui Road and north of North Fourth Ring Road. Its northwest corner has the Olympic Village, the south has various home stadiums, including the National stadium "Bird's Nest", the National swimming center "Water Cube", the National stadium, the National Convention center (fencing hall, international broadcasting center) and so on. In addition, the Olympic multifunctional studio Tower (Linglong Tower), Digital Beijing Building, the main press center is also in this area
[5]
. The forest park is located north of Kehui Road, using the ancient Chinese garden technique of digging lakes and building mountains to create "Aohai" and "Yangshan", which serve as the end point of the northern extension of the central axis of Beijing. The park is divided into North and south areas by the Fifth Ring Road. The south area is dominated by artificial landscape, while the north area is closer to the natural wilderness. An "ecological corridor" spanning the Fifth Ring Road will be set up in the middle of the two districts. To its west are the Olympic Park Hockey Rink, Olympic Park Archery Range and Olympic Park Tennis Court (now known as the "National Tennis Centre"). In another way of division, all areas except the Olympic Village are combined according to the planning functions, and are divided into five areas:
The south of the North road of the National Stadium is the "sports function area", and the main sports facilities such as the "Bird's Nest" of the National Stadium, the "Water Cube" of the National Aquatics Center, the National Stadium, the Olympic Sports Center Stadium, the Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium, and the Yingdong Natatorium are located in this area. Between the north Road of the National Stadium and Kehui Road, the east side of the dragon water system is the "Culture, Science and Education Area". The new China Science and Technology Museum opened after the competition, the planned new China Art Museum, the Chinese Sinology Center and other science and education cultural facilities are set in this area. Between the north Road of the National Stadium and Kehui Road, the west side of the Dragon water system is the "characteristic business district", where the National Convention Center, the intercontinental Hotel in Beichen, the Sinking Square business district, and the watchtower under construction are located
[6]
. Between Kehui Road and the Fifth Ring Road is the "Forest Recreation area", corresponding to the south area of Forest Park. The north of the Fifth Ring Road is the "ecological health area", corresponding to the north Forest Park.
The Olympic Park has designed different landscapes around the central axis that runs through the entire park, with three axes designed - the central axis, a tree array on the west side and a dragon-shaped water system on the east side. Between the dragon-shaped water system and the central axis, three different Spaces (celebration square, sunken garden, leisure square) are set up, and the two sides of the water system are also equipped with landscape design. In the park set up a landmark landscape tower - Linglong Tower, during the game to provide media studios, television broadcasting and other services. In addition, the existing historical relics in the park, including the North Roof Temple and other monuments, are also placed in the scope of landscape design considerations.
The central axis itself is designed as a landscape avenue, with a total area of 400,000 square meters, and no buildings are set in the middle (called the "virtual axis", as opposed to the "real axis" of the buildings set in the inner city). The road starts from Panda Ring Island in the south to Forest Park South Gate Square in the north, with a total length of 3.7 kilometers, and is paved with gray granite imitating the imperial road in ancient Chinese architecture within a width ranging from 21 to 60 meters, even if it intersects with municipal roads, it remains unchanged to maintain the integrity of the road.
The tree array landscape on the west side has a bandwidth of 100 meters and a length of 2.4 kilometers, starting from the north side of the Fourth Ring Road in the south to Kehui Road in the north, and disconnecting at the east side of the National Aquatics Center and the National Stadium to form a square. The trees in the array are spaced 6 meters apart and arranged in a matrix, and the tree species are mainly local species in Beijing. Considering the cost, ginkgo biloba is not used all, but the tree species such as tabulaeus tabulaeus, Chinese cottonwood, and koelreuteria are used as the main square array, and the ginkgo biloba arrays run through the two sides. Under the trees, the hard permeable brick in the south, the regular hedge in the middle, and finally the free green in the north, gradually blending into the forest.

In the three Spaces, the celebration square in the southern section is connected with the central square, which provides the surrounding National Stadium, swimming center and gymnasium with the space for the crowd gathering and outdoor activities during and after the competition, and the water fountains are set up on the north and south sides. The sunken garden in the middle section is designed in combination with the surrounding subway station and more than 200,000 square meters of underground commercial facilities. With the theme of "Open Forbidden City", seven courtyards are set up from south to north, respectively adopting different designs (courtyards 4 and 5 are separated by roads and adopt the same design), reflecting different elements of traditional Chinese culture. The leisure gardens in the northern section are naturally planted with vegetation
[7]
As a buffer zone for the gradual transition from the central area to the forest, there is open space in the middle of the vegetation for activities; The watchtower under construction is located in the leisure garden.

Olympic Park Tennis Center
Soon after the 1990 Asian Games, Beijing began preparing to bid for the 2000 Olympic Games. In the bid report submitted in 1992, it was proposed to expand the existing Olympic Sports Center as the main sports center, build a new 100,000 people stadium in the southern reserve of the Olympic Sports Center, and expand the Olympic village to the north. Construction of a "21st century sports center" in western Wukesong, including a swimming pool, gymnasium and tennis court. At that time, various international sports organizations had low requirements for venues, and Beijing only needed to build seven new venues to meet the requirements.
However, Beijing lost its bid for the 2000 Olympics to Sydney by one vote. Five years later, in November 1998, the CPC Central Committee and The State Council approved Beijing's bid for the 2008 Olympic Games, and on March 31 of the following year, the Beijing Municipal Government and the State General Administration of Sport established the "Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Planning Coordination Group" to study the layout of the Olympic venues and the Olympic central area. The site selection of the central area went through four stages in total. In the first stage, a total of 15 plans were proposed; in the third stage, four directions were proposed: Olympic Sports Center, Dingfuzhuang, 垡头 and Yizhuang; in the fourth stage, two directions were selected: Olympic Sports Center and Southeastern Yizhuang, and five plans were detailed. In the end, in order to give the judges the best impression in the bidding process, the municipal government decided to give up the southeast direction that is compatible with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration direction, choose the northern part of the city that is more mature because of the Asian Games to build the Olympic center, expand the Olympic Sports center to the north, and use the original planned administrative center reservation on the north extension line of the central axis to change to the Olympic Park.
[8]
This piece of reserved land was originally the area of Datun Township and Wali Township. The depression gets its name from its low-lying terrain; Datun got its name from the place where the Song Army stored grain in the ancient battlefields of Song and Liao. Formerly farmland, the area was designated as a science city in the 1960s with the construction of Building 917, which housed several research institutes under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Due to the reservation of land for planning, Beijing did not carry out any construction in this area, so it became a migrant population concentrated area, and even a market for waste paper trading.
After the completion of the site selection work, the municipal government immediately launched the collection of planning plans for the Olympic Central area. In early March 2000, the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission held an international competition for the planning scheme of the Olympic central area, and in July, 12 shortlisted schemes were selected after expert review. Subsequently, after the synthesis of each program, the bid program was formed.
[9]
The planning scope of the bid plan includes the former Olympic Sports Center, the Chinese Nationality Park, the central area, the Minzu Avenue, and the Wali Forest Park, covering an area of 1215 hectares. In the central area, a new stadium, swimming center, gymnasium, tennis center, hockey field, archery field, and the exhibition hall of the new exhibition center will be used as the competition venue, the main news center, and the international broadcasting center. Including the existing venues, a total of 14 venues will be set up, which can host 15 events. The stadium, gymnasium and swimming center are distributed on the east side of the central axis, connected by the podium; The exhibition center is located on the west side of the axis, with a symmetrical layout with the sports building on the east side. A square 800 meters long and 400 meters wide is set on the middle axis, and a twin tower is set on the north end, which is 500 meters high and has a construction area of 600,000 square meters. As an office tower, a hotel and other functions, it mimics the shape of the obelisk in front of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, with the intention of introducing Western architectural style. But it has been criticized for ignoring features of traditional culture. The northwest corner is set up the Olympic Village, with a total construction area of 470,000 square meters, three restaurants, including 360,000 square meters of athletes' apartments. Set up a forest park in the north.
[10]
After the bid was successful, considering safety, funding, feasibility and other factors, the 500-meter twin tower project was abandoned. Subsequently, under the authorization of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission in March 2002 once again conducted a collection of planning plans for the Olympic Park, and held an exhibition of planning and design plans at the Beijing International Convention Center from July 16 to 29. The first prize was awarded to the joint design of Sasaki Architects and Tianjin Huahui Engineering & Architectural Design Co., LTD., which became the blueprint for the final design of the Olympic Park. In this scheme, the designer proposed the concept of "Five thousand years of Chinese Civilization Memorial Avenue", which extends north along the central axis, from south to north, there are five memorial squares for the People's Republic of China, Song Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty, Xia Dynasty, Three emperors and five emperors, the last two of which are located in the Olympic Forest Park, and the axis eventually disappears in the forest park. It implies that ancient Chinese civilization originated in nature; The forest park is located on the north side of the Fifth Ring Road, which is mainly forest, implying the Kunlun Mountains; The south part is dominated by water system, implying the East China Sea, and an island is set in the center, implying Penglai Fairy Island. The lake in the Forest Park acts as a "dragon head", causing the dragon-shaped water system throughout the Olympic Park, bringing nature into the city.
In November 2003, the competition for landscape design of the central area and Forest Park of the Olympic Park was held, and Sasaki Architects and Beijing Tsinghua Urban Planning and Design Institute jointly won the proposal, naming the central axis as "axis to nature" for the first time. On the basis of these schemes, the designer carried out a deepening, after various discussions cancelled the concept of "five thousand years memorial Road", moved the main mountain of the forest park to the south of the fifth Ring Road, and reduced the water surface area to compress investment.
The first project of the Olympic Park, Xindan Road, started on June 7, 2003. On December 24 of the same year, construction of the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube began; The subway Olympic Branch line started construction in May 2005. Forest Park began construction on June 30 of the same year. In 2008, these projects were completed. The Water Cube was completed on January 28
[11]
; The official completion of the Bird's Nest on June 28 marks the completion of the construction of the Olympic Park and competition venues; The Olympic line opened for trial operation on July 19.
Subsequently, between the opening of the Olympic Games on 8 August 2008 and the closing of the Paralympic Games on 17 September 2008, the Olympic Park served as the main venue for a large number of events. After the Paralympic Games, the Olympic Park was closed to the public. From September 28 to October 6, the Olympic Park was open for free (by issuing tickets to control crowds) and became one of Beijing's most popular attractions. It will be closed again for 2 days and open to the public free of charge.
In 2010, Beijing Olympic Park proposed to compete
5A tourist attraction
. In March 2013, Beijing Olympic Park was officially awarded the title of "National 5A Tourist Attraction" by the National Tourism Administration, and Beijing Olympic Park became the eighth national 5A tourist attraction in Beijing and the first national 5A tourist attraction in Chaoyang District.
On February 1, 2021, it was commended for "creating a national Barrier-free environment Demonstration city, county and village".
[13]
On November 25, 2021, it was identified as a national sports tourism demonstration base by the General Administration of Sports and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
