Bird's Nest to host winter sports festivities

Get ready for yet another transformation at China's iconic National Stadium. The Bird's Nest will become the snow nest next month as the stadium hosts its inaugural winter sports festivities.

The carnivals will run from December to Feburary next year. The stadium's center field will be turned into a winter sports showcase, where athletes and people from all walks of life can take part in various events during the three-month gala.

The program also aims to give people a wintry pastime to enjoy during the Vancouver Olympic Games.
