The Water Cube, also known as the National Aquatics Center will reopen to the public on November 22 after the APEC summit.

APEC leaders gathered at the Water Cube on Nov 10, where they took a group photo wearing traditional Chinese outfits and later attended a banquet with local delicacies from across China. The leaders watched a cultural performance and also a splendid fireworks display outside the aquatics center.

The new decorations done for APEC will be preserved after it's reopened to the public. Visitors can take photos at the same place where the APEC leaders had their photo taken and have a close look at the welcome banquet and even enjoy the delicious banquet dishes.

The Water Cube's entrance ticket price remains unchanged at 30 yuan.
