Neighborhoods in Beijing

"The 798 neighborhood is an East German-built military factory area transformed into a pedestrian-friendly art zone. The Bauhaus and brutalist-inspired buildings of the neighborhood also stand out in the city’s architectural landscape. Most of Beijing’s distinctive buildings are dominated by either imperial opulence (Forbidden City), stylish traditional (hutongs), or massive futurist (CCTV tower and Olympic structures).There are many boutique art galleries to dip into, as well as larger art museums. The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) is an independent, not-for-profit center founded by Belgian art collectors in 2007. The three-story space is massive, so check the exhibit information in advance to make sure your time is spent wisely.The 798 Photo Gallery is another major league museum. Keeping in line with the distinct architecture of the 798 district, the look of the original Bauhaus style space has been maintained. One of the walls exhibits a slogan in red paint, “Long live Chairman Mao, for a hundred million years.”Either before or after your trip to 798, be sure to stop by one of Beijing’s best breakfast/brunch spots — the Green Cow Cafe. This cafe is on the frontline for organic options in Beijing." - MATADOR_NETWORK

Art and Culture in Beijing

"The 798 neighborhood is a pedestrian-friendly art zone filled with Bauhaus and brutalist-inspired buildings, boutique art galleries, and museums. Allot time to check out the paintings and sculptures by international artists at Pace Gallery, which has locations in Beijing, New York, London, and beyond. There’s also the unique space of Matsune Gallery, hosting socialist realist art from the DPRK. It is an extension of the original gallery in Pyongyang, which at 120,000 square meters proclaims itself as “probably the largest art production center in the world.”" - MATADOR_NETWORK

8 trendy spots to find fashionistas in Beijing - SilverKris

"A cool cultural enclave set in a converted complex of former state-owned factories in Dashanzi, now home to galleries, artists’ studios, design firms, cafes, bars and trendy shops; it’s a strong spot for art shopping and discovering Chinese designers, and its former Bauhaus-style military architecture provides a photogenic backdrop popular with fashionable visitors and Instagrammers." - BALVINDER SANDHU & AMY HAWKINS

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.

Great spot for vintage shopping, coffee, and craft beer. There’s a very cool NBeer pub in a train car.

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.

Overall a positive experience but some areas could see some improvements. 1. Bathrooms should have more western style toilets 2. Better maps and road signage for the area district. We like the variety of shopping and exhibitions. We were a bit disappointed when some of the exhibits were closed. We did enjoy the Jingdong soap museum.

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.

‘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!

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.
