No ticketing
A stadium, an arena and a swimming hall under one white steel net - the first time that was attempted in China - built for the 2011 Summer Universiade and known ever since by the nickname Spring Cocoon. The design came from an international call the Nanshan district government launched in early July 2007; the expert jury ranked first the Spring Cocoon scheme by Japan's Axs Satow and the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design, and that is the one that was built. It has no gate and no general admission: four sides open onto gentle ramps you simply walk up, which was the point of the design, and the east end was cut away into a 120 m viewing bridge so that you can see Shenzhen Bay and the Hong Kong hills from inside the stadium.
