The best opening ceremony of the Olympic Games for a loong loong time! Congrats Beijing, you made it!

8 years later it still stands as the best (and most expensive) ceremony ever.

Still the Best Opening Ceremony in Olympic history so far... Excellent! Unbeatable! Everything aspect of the show is amazing. Dare to compare... My All Time Favorite.

It was the best opening ceremony in Olympic history. Love you China from Pakistan ☺

The best Olympic opening ceremony in the 120 years of the Games. From Colombia.

2020 and I’m still here watching this. I don’t think I’ll get ever get over how spectacular this opening was.

I had the pleasure of visiting Beijing in 2012 and until this day its hard for me to believe I was there! I'm from Mexico by the way and that was the first time my family and I had the opportunity to a different continent and it was amazing! very kind people, the temples the landscapes, delicious food obviously the great wall etc etc like I said, I still can't believe I was there, and by 'there' I mean the bird's nest stadium which in my opinion is like a huge peace of art simply beautiful so watching this makes me think of that and I miss it very much. Amazing show by the way obviously. Have a great day.

There were so many disasters in 2008, such as snow disaster and earthquake. Lots of Chinese were unable to watch this because of disasters. Actually, this event was held under the huge sadness. After 2008, China’s development was increasing dramatically and became one of the most powerful countries in the world. Disasters made China stronger!

The most iconic opening ceremony ever.

the best opening ceremony

Happy to look back from 2021. As a Chinese, I was very little in 2008. However, the great, glorious and memorable opening ceremony impressed me then. Thank you guys for liking the Beijing Olympics, and we welcome all friends from the world to visit the modern China. LOVE My country and love the Olympics.

@@latinoheat300 Han Chinese isn’t exactly an ethnicity until recent history. For the most time in history, Han people refer to those that identify with the Han culture, and that is, the majority of Chinese population. It is more like a “default” ethnicity in China. We rarely ever refer to ourselves as Han unless specifically asked. We always use the term Descendants of Huaxia, which is a much broader concept that refer to all ethnicities that live on this land.
