The National Aquatic Center, known as "Water Cube", carries China's Olympic glory from in the water to on the ice. As one of country's Olympic landmarks, the facility, which witnessed the swimming and diving events of the 2008 Summer Olympics, will be transformed into "ice cube" to play its part in the world's only summer and winter Olympic host city. Ten years on from 2008 and in run-up to 2022, let's take a look at how the "Water Cube" grew up and how it will look four years later.
