798 Art Zone

Unclaimed

‘A surprising art section in Beijing’ Without any expectations, I decided to visit 798 Art zone. I was positively surprised how spacious it was and how many art galleries you could find. You can feel the influence on the architecture from post war Europe in the art zone. I definitely enjoyed feeling like I was walking in Europe. The only thing to keep in mind that it is not east to reach by public transportation and it can take a long time to find a taxi!

A must visit in Beijing. Plan at least 5 hours. It’s busy but never feels overcrowded. All generations taking a stroll and only a few international tourist are spotted. It’s a melting pot of art, design, architecture, antiques or vintage or some modern shops also a lot of nice cafes are available. It’s not anymore a pure art area in an old industrial complex, but to be honest the commercial part isn’t disturbing it’s rather blends in well.

The place is large and well-organized, with many artworks displayed. Some of them required payment for entrance. The atmosphere was nice. It was one of my favorite places during this visit.

Reasonably quiet trending location situated on the outskirts of Beijing. There’s a lot of art studios here, and the location itself is like an art museum.

Old factory and facilities converted to contemporary art and dining area. Beautiful local art, museums, souvenir and coffee shops, fancy restaurants and more inside. A must-visit in Beijing.
