The National Indoor Stadium[2] (official name) (simplified Chinese: 国家体育馆; traditional Chinese: 國家體育館; pinyin: Guójiā Tǐyùguǎn)[3] is an indoor stadium that is located in the Olympic Green in Beijing, China. The stadium has a capacity of 20,000 people,[citation needed] and was constructed for the 2008 Summer Olympics. It is nicknamed the Fan (扇子, shànzi) due to its design resembling a traditional Chinese folding fan.
