798 Art Zone, Arts district in Dashanzi, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China.
The 798 Art Zone houses 200 galleries and exhibition spaces within industrial buildings featuring German Bauhaus architecture with tall ceilings and natural light.
Originally built in the 1950s as Joint Factory 718 under Chinese-Soviet cooperation, East German architects designed these manufacturing facilities for military electronics production.
The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art presents exhibitions from global artists, while independent studios showcase Chinese modern art throughout the repurposed factory spaces.
Galleries operate from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, with access via Line 14 of Beijing Metro to Wangjing South Station followed by a short taxi ride.
The district retains original industrial elements like pipes and machinery alongside contemporary art installations, creating a fusion between manufacturing heritage and modern creativity.
