Bird’s Nest in miniature

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

s nestThis is a a nearly finished bamboo model of the ‘Bird’s Nest,’ also known as the Beijing National Stadium, at a Hangzhou tourism site in eastern China’s Zhejiang Province.

It looks totally wonderful; as does the original.

This one-twentieth scale model of the ‘Bird’s Nest’ needed nearly one thousand bamboo branches and took about two weeks to make.

It will undoubtedly become a tourist attraction in its own right. It is amazing how the design of the main stadium so lends itself to this style of model making.
