Entrance gate into the 798 district
Early Saturday morning, accompanied by our friend and fellow architecture student, Fish, the group went to the 798 District. Here, in Beijing, the 798 is the arts district. The site was once a complex of factories of power and manufacturing. Now artists’ studios, workshops, galleries and cafes are all housed in the buildings. Works of paintings, photographs, sculpture, fashion and architecture were all on display among the various buildings. We were fortunate to find architecture exhibits on eco-cities in China, planning of Beijing, and digital modeling from architecture schools world wide. The 798 district was certainly a favorite visit for many of us in the group, offering us insight into Beijing’s art scene.
