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.
