798 Art District

798 Art District

798 Art District, also known as Dashanzi Art District, was originally a state-owned electronic industrial factory. It now has fashionable creative spaces such as the Centennial Impression Photography Gallery and the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, which display the works of well-known and emerging Chinese artists. Outdoor sculpture installations stand side by side with boutiques, which sell alternative fashion and art gifts. In the fashionable cafes in this area, you can enjoy outdoor brunch and boutique coffee.

798 Art District is a world-famous, fashionable and vibrant cultural and creative industry cluster. The art district often hosts important international art exhibitions, art events and fashion events, attracting many world politicians, film and television stars, and socialites to visit 798. 

Today, the 798 Art District is not only a new business card for Beijing, but also a specimen of China's cultural and creative industry park construction.


Main attractions:

UCCA Center for Contemporary Art: UCCA Center for Contemporary Art is China's leading contemporary art institution. 

Beijing Beehive Theater: The reason why it is called "Beehive" is not only because every detail has a beehive pattern design, but also because it is a metaphor for people who, like bees, work hard and strive for the ideal of drama. 

Asia Art Center: The Asia Art Center was established in Taipei in 1982 and is a high-quality professional gallery. 

Pace Beijing: Pace Beijing is located in the heart of Beijing's 798 Art District, covering an area of nearly 2,500 square meters. It is one of the largest space buildings in the park. 


Opening hours: Open all day, art institutions and gallery exhibitions in the park are usually open from 10:00-18:00/11:00-19:00 (some exhibitions are closed on Mondays); drama performances are usually open from 19:30-22:30; catering and coffee shops are usually open from 10:00-22:30

We had a very memorable experience in Xi’An thanks to the expertise and helpfulness from Norman, who helped us planned our trip, and Waldener, our local tour guide from Into Explore. Norman helped us with the itinerary and bookings of transport and accommodations so it was stress free for me. He asked us our preferences when making the rooms reservation to cater to what we like and recommended the best way and places to explore this city. Our tour guide was also flexible with our schedule so we were able to do what we wanted and working around the weather. We were supposed to go Mt Hua on the 2nd day of our tour but it was forecasted to rain. He switched our itinerary around so we could climb Mt Hua on the 3rd day instead when the rain had stopped. Thank you Into Explore for giving us peace of mind to sit back and enjoy our vacation.

Fue una buena decisión hacer el Circulo de Oro contratando a Into Explore. Una empresa confiable con una muy buena organización siempre pendientes de nuestros gustos y preferencias. La experiencia de la visita a la Gran Muralla los Soldados Terracota, el Jardín Yu y Shanghái fueron muy interesantes y aprendimos mucho sobre las distintas Dinastías y la historia de China.

Independent travel by train in China…
Independent travel by train in China can be daunting ordeal. We decided to use Intoexplore for booking the trip and are very happy we did. It almost felt like Norman was a family member guiding us through how to use Alipay for payments in China to where to find the ticket office in the train station to convert digital tickets to paper. He was always available (sometimes at 6 am!) to answer any question and solve any problems that arose .. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about independent travel to China .
