Fifty overseas journalists toured the National Aquatics Center on Nov. 12 to experience one of Beijing's iconic dual-Olympic venues firsthand.

The visit, organized by the China International Press Communication Center, aimed to strengthen international media exchanges and promote collaboration among journalists from Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.

During the tour, the journalists visited the Olympic Competition Hall and the underground Ice Sports Center, learning about the facility's operations since the 2022 Winter Olympics.

By leveraging its dual-Olympic legacies, the National Aquatics Center has become a platform for promoting the Olympic spirit and advancing Beijing's role as an international communication hub.
