Laoshan BMX Venue

The Laoshan BMX Venue is located south of the Laoshan Cycling and Fencing Sports Management Center base in Shijingshan District, Beijing, covering an area of approximately 1.98 hectares. It is adjacent to the Laoshan Velodrome and the Laoshan Mountain Bike Course.

The Laoshan BMX Venue is a temporary facility with a total seating capacity of 4,000. It served as the competition venue for BMX cycling at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and also hosted the UCI BMX World Cup in August 2007. The estimated ticket prices for the BMX events at the Olympics ranged from a minimum of 50 RMB to a maximum of 100 RMB.

The land used for the Laoshan BMX Venue falls within the protected areas of the Laoshan Han Tombs cultural relics and the urban green space conservation zone in Shijingshan District. After the Olympics, it was restored to its original condition.
