798 Art Zone

Geographical Location and Historical Evolution
The 798 Art District is located in Dashanzi area, Jiuxianqiao Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing. Due to its geographical location, it is also known as Dashanzi Art District. It was originally the site of the old factory area of the former state-owned 798 Factory and other electronics industries. It once witnessed an important period in the development process of China's electronics industry. There were numerous factory buildings, with machines roaring, and workers were busy with electronics production-related work here.

Unique Style and Artistic Integration
The 798 Art District is favored by many artists because of its Bauhaus-style factory building style. The Bauhaus style, with its simple, practical and modern design features, endows this old factory area with unique architectural charm. With the development of the times, the production layout of the electronics industry has changed, and some factory buildings have been left idle. And artists have keenly captured the spatial potential here, and thus there has been a clever combination of idle factory buildings and modern art, gradually transforming it into an art distribution center in Beijing and a gathering place for various artistic activities and creative expressions.

Nowadays, it has already formed a multicultural space integrating galleries, cultural companies, bars, and shops. Galleries display various artworks with different styles, ranging from traditional paintings to modern installation art, providing an excellent place for art lovers to appreciate and evaluate art up close.

Bars offer a good place for people to relax and unwind after appreciating art. People can taste fine wines here while exchanging their artistic insights.
