Dashanzi, Contemporary art district in Dashanzi, Beijing, China
The 798 Art Zone spans 600,000 square meters within former electronics factories, featuring nearly 200 galleries, exhibitions, and art centers with Bauhaus-style architecture.
The district originated in the 1950s as Joint Factory 718, established through cooperation between China and the Soviet Union, producing military and civilian electronics until the 1990s.
Local and international artists transform industrial spaces into galleries, studios, and exhibition venues, making it the third most visited location in Beijing after the Forbidden City.
Galleries generally operate from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, accessible via Line 14 of Beijing Metro to Wangjing South Station, followed by a short taxi ride.
The district maintains original German-designed factory elements, including north-facing windows and curved sawtooth roofs, which now serve as distinctive exhibition spaces for contemporary art.
