Hello, welcome to Beijing’s art center There are countless graffiti and sculptures here There are also many museums
where you can visit sculptures and paintings There are also various small shops selling art Come and stroll with us in the ocean of art Just entered the park from the street I don’t feel much difference
from other residential areas in Beijing The name of 798 Art Zone comes from the code name of the electronic component factory
that was here 70 years ago “The First Sound Gallery” At the beginning of the founding of New China The 718 Joint Factory was established with the support
of the entire GDR (East Germany) The full name is “North China Radio Equipment Factory in Beijing” When the Germans helped build this factory Applying the typical Bauhaus style to this new factory In 1964, factories 798, 751, and 706 were spun off With the reform and opening up The factories gradually declined in the 1980s Around the Millennium 798 was the first to attract art institutions
as state-owned enterprise reforms took place Celebrities such as Li Zongsheng and Fang Wenshan
also moved in Attracting a large number of Chinese and foreign tourists Today, 798 is no longer a factory number Tall factory buildings and workers in simple clothes People of all colors, Great Leap Forward slogans,
and bold sculptures Random and weird is the picture of 798 Art Park Today, 798 is regarded by many as SoHo of Beijing It’s like SoHo in Manhattan, New York They are all created by the artist with a unique vision Developing industrial areas into cool and trendy places New York’s SoHo is drifting away from art 798 now is like SoHo when it was young There is still a chance to choose the future path Graffiti gestures: 7 Graffiti gestures: 9 Graffiti gestures: 8 “Daqian Contemporary Art Center” “Dufrung” Cake Shop Unlike many buildings in the 1950s with windows facing south The windows of the buildings in the 798 factory area all face north Effective use of reflected natural light To ensure uniform and stable light “The Third Exhibition of Zhiwen Daibian”

798 Art Zone carries the industrial memory of a special era. Its predecessor was the cradle of the electronics industry of New China – the state-owned 798 Factory, which was the military electronics joint factory built by the former USSR and the DRG. The mottled red brick exterior walls, towering chimneys and rusty pipes all tell of the glory of the past. Since 2002, artists and cultural institutions have begun to transform these abandoned factories into galleries, art studios, cultural stores and dining spaces. 798 has gradually transformed into one of the most influential contemporary art districts in China, becoming a model of the integration of industrial heritage transformation and artistic creativity.
We stepped into 798 Art Zone from street side, and soon, a strong artistic atmosphere hit us. Different from the Nakameguro Art District in Tokyo, Japan, which is dominated by exquisite and delicate Japanese aesthetics, the art style of 798 tends to be a soft fusion of tradition and modernity. It is also different from the SoHo district in New York, USA, which is famous for its high-end and fashionable art atmosphere and expensive galleries. 798 Art Zone has a unique Chinese flavor, perfectly combining rough industrial relics with avant-garde contemporary art, and every corner is full of surprises and creativity.
Walking on the streets of 798 Art Zone, sculptures attracted us first, some seem to come from outer space, some express their thoughts on reality with exaggerated shapes. Walking into a gallery casually may encounter an exhibition of world-class artists, and multiple art forms such as installation art, video art, and paintings constantly impact your vision and thinking. You can see the artists in the studio focusing on their creations and feel the charm of the process of art birth.
Keep going, many cultural shops with unique characteristics on the street are also worth stopping. Unlike the Japanese-style cultural and creative products commonly seen in stores in the Japanese art district, and unlike the trendy and luxurious stores in the American Soho district, the stores in 798 sell cultural and creative products with unique Chinese characteristics and contemporary art styles. From postcards printed with art paintings to unique handicrafts, each one can become a unique souvenir of your art journey.
Going northeast along, the iconic No.79 Can gradually come into view. It were a giant gas tanks in the 751 factory area, and have been transformed into an important place for large-scale art exhibitions and activities. Every time it is “opened”, just like opening a new art world.
If you also yearn for a stroll full of artistic atmosphere and want to feel the collision of industrial history and contemporary art, you must not miss 798 Art Zone. The journey from the street to No.79 Can is not only a spatial movement, but also an artistic journey of the soul. Come and follow us to appreciate the unique charm of 798 Art Zone in advance!
