The Guangdong Olympic Stadium adopts a ribbon-like design. The roof is composed of two steel roof trusses in the east and west, which are curved and located on 21 groups of tower columns. The freely flowing ribbon shape of the roof is like a dragon dancing in mid-air, implying the takeoff of Guangdong in the new century. Each section of the stands is like a petal. When closed, it is like the city flower of Guangzhou, the kapok. No matter where the audience stands in the stands, they can clearly see the scene in the stadium and enjoy the fun of watching competitions. The combined shape of the flowing ribbon and petals will make this stadium an attractive city landmark. The torch that embodies the indomitable spirit of mankind and symbolizes mankind’s pursuit of light is suspended between two groups of flowing ribbon roofs. The torch is composed of a spiral ribbon and a sphere and is fixed by a suspension cable. The position of the torch is on the common axis of the entire sports center and stadium, so that people can clearly see the torch from anywhere. The stadium is also equipped with a sports technology center, a press conference center, a drug testing center, a sports club, a clubhouse, shopping malls, hotels, and large-scale leisure, entertainment, and rehabilitation facilities. After completion, it will together with the entire Guangdong Olympic Sports Center form a large-scale sports and cultural center integrating competitive sports, mass sports, tourism, and leisure and entertainment. Open all year round and open all day. The specific business status is subject to the opening situation on the day.
