When most people think of Beijing, they might envision China’s ancient sites like the Forbidden City or even the Summer Palace. But what most people don’t realize is that modern Beijing has a thriving co<\/em>ntemporary art scene with local Chinese artists. Today, we’re here in 798 Art District, or Dashanzi in Chinese. It’s one of Beijing’s lesser known hangouts and a great place to spend a day. It’s full of cafes and art galleries with both internatio<\/em>nal and Chinese artists and it definitely has a totally different feel to it than the rest of Beijing.<\/p>\n

As you can see, the area used to be an old factory ground built during the 1950s through the cooperation between China and Russia. The East Germans helped with the architecture and co<\/em>nstruction which is why you can see they reflect the German Bauhaus style. Gradually during the 1980s, the factories declined in production and the area was pretty much deserted. But in 1995, Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts moved into the area and soon others followed suit. It is the perfect place to walk around, shoot some photos, check out art and grab a coffee. Now, remember the area is pretty big so you wanna make sure you leave yourself enough time to see everything, at least a few hours. Let’s go to check it out.<\/p>\n

The area’s filled with lots of small galleries from both internatio<\/em>nal and Chinese artists with all different kinds of art. Take a look at this one.<\/p>\n

Andrea: OK. Well, I think I’ve seen enough here. Let’s go to check out some other places located in the art district and ask some other people what they think a<\/em>bout it.<\/p>\n

Interviewee A: It’s amazing. It’s so much art within such a little area and I find it’s really needed here in Beijing now. You walk to different districts. You’re going to one store. It’s all glasses. You’re going to another store. It’s all computer parts. You go to another area. It’s all furniture. And this is the art area. So, it’s great!<\/p>\n

Interviewee B: The difference, compared to a few years ago, I think, is becoming more touristic. A lot of people and foreigners and even a lot of Chinese visit it during the weekend. Before, there are just people in art and journalists, now it’s just becoming more touristic anyway. Even though it’s just a place to spend the weekends, even for the people who are not that interested in art. I think this could be a good thing.<\/p>\n
