Beijing 798 Art Zone
The area occupied by it was once the place for North China Wireless Joint Equipment Factory. Afterwards, the corporation moved out of the Dashanzi District and leased those plants (798 factory being one of them). The architectural style, featuring simple design and varied composition, follows the Bauhaus way. Attracted by ordered design, convenient traffic, unique style of Bauhaus architecture, many art organizations and artists came to rent the vacant plants and transformed them. Gradually there formed a district gathering galleries, art studios, cultural companies, fashion shops etc. As the area where the early art organizations and artists moved in was located in the original area of the 798 plant, this place was named 798 Art Zone.
A visit to the 798 community is recommended for travelers with an interest in modern art. This district has become a trendy area for local artists and contains numerous galleries, shops and cafes making for a pleasant stroll. Travelers looking to see the modern culture of Beijing should spend an afternoon browsing through the 798 art district's warehouses and alleyways. Whether you want to buy art or just look and enjoy a coffee along the way, the 798 art district is really a window into modern China and how it is embracing yet another aspect of western culture with its own Chinese twist.
This artistic community is located in the Dashanzi district and gets its name from the Soviet-style factories that used to operate there. Artists and gallery owners work in redesigned factory buildings which provide an industrial backdrop that enhances the atmosphere of the area. The abandoned factory district originally brought local Chinese artists to the area looking for inexpensive workshop space and it has become an ideal creative setting. The area has large open spaces and rooms perfect for art displays accented by the Communist era industrial architecture.
The 798 art community is open every day and is best visited in the afternoon.
