First Encounter with 798 As the spring breeze from Beijing's Chaoyang District gently blows, step into the 798 Art District and feel as though you've traveled through time. With its mottled red brick walls, graffiti, industrial-style factory buildings, and creative markets, this is Beijing's most vibrant cultural hub. Stroll here on a weekend afternoon and experience the collision of history and art; there are surprises around every corner. Useful Information 📍 Transportation: It's a 10-minute walk from Wangjing South Station on subway Line 14, or take bus routes 401/402 to the 798 Art District Station. If driving, navigate to "798 Art Center parking lot" (CNY 6/hour). 🎫 Admission: The art district is free to enter, but some exhibition halls, such as UCCA, require advance ticket purchase via Trip.com (approx. CNY 100). 📸 Photography Tips: - The green train carriages in the Locomotive Square are a must-photograph, with a retro café and railway tracks creating a super atmospheric vibe. - The graffiti walls in Area E are colorful, and you can capture great shots in the alleyways. - The old mechanical installations and interplay of light and shadow in Area D are a paradise for industrial style enthusiasts. Nearby Travel Guide ✨ Must-see: A 10-minute walk to 751D-PARK, where the silver oil tanks and industrial-style cafes are incredibly photogenic. 🍰 Food: Creative Sichuan cuisine at Meng Lin's Kitchen, Douhua Rice Noodles at Chi Chang, and afternoon desserts at Du Ge Lang for a CNY 19.9 set menu. 🏨 Accommodation: Experience old Beijing in a Qianmen Hutong homestay, or enjoy convenient shopping in a Sanlitun hotel business district. Things to Avoid ❌ Closed on Mondays! Some exhibition halls charge separate fees, so check the exhibition information in advance. ❌ Wear flat shoes! The art district is large, so be prepared for a 20,000-step walk. ❌ Dining in the commercial area is expensive, so bring your own snacks or eat at the art district canteen. My Personal Route Enter from the southwest gate → Graffiti Wall in Area E → Industrial Style Check-in in Area D → Lunch at Chi Chang → UCCA Exhibition → Photograph the sunset at Locomotive Square in the evening. In the spring, 798 is filled with the aroma of coffee and art. Come and collect this map for a soulful stroll! 💙 ---

798 Art District Recently, FUJIFILM's annual global imaging event "FUJIKINA 2025 FUJIFILM Imaging Week | Symphony of Light" concluded at the 798CUBE Creative Plaza in the 798·751 Park area in Beijing. This event was structured like a symphony, connecting multiple landmark spaces within the 798·751 Park. Covering nearly 9,000 square meters, it presented a large-scale exhibition, light and shadow shows, product experiences, workshops, and interactive activities, creating a multi-layered, wide-ranging imaging art festival. It brought together imaging creators from around the world to jointly explore the power of "light" and the diverse expressions of imagery. The exhibition was massive in scale, with over 1,700 works displayed along a continuous exhibition line stretching more than 1,000 meters, creating a rich and varied viewing rhythm. It covered a comprehensive range of photography genres, from documentary, humanistic, fashion, conceptual, landscape to urban space and social themes, allowing different aesthetics and approaches to contrast and inspire each other in the same venue.

The exhibition "Nowhere to Paint: The Interplay of Reality and Illusion, Nowhere to Paint is a Wonderful Realm" is currently being held at the Yiju Art Gallery in Beijing's 798 Art District. "Reality and illusion give rise to each other; nowhere to paint becomes a wonderful realm." This phrase by the Qing Dynasty painter Da Chongguang in "Painting Quan" reveals the profound artistic concept of "leaving blank" in Chinese art. Three hundred years later, a special exhibition called "Nowhere to Paint" is reinterpreting this Eastern aesthetic philosophy through contemporary language. Upon entering the gallery, visitors are first drawn to the "paintings" on the walls. Upon closer inspection, these framed works are not traditional paintings but carefully arranged ancient artifacts and contemporary creations. This unconventional display method guides us to rethink the boundaries between "painting" and "non-painting," "presence" and "absence." The exhibition features many precious ancient artifacts, from bone carvings of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods to pottery jars of the Han Dynasty, from the stone Buddha of the Sui Dynasty to the Thousand Buddha Pagoda of the Tang Dynasty, from Ming Dynasty wood carvings to Qing Dynasty bronze ware. These objects, transcending time and space, are placed within frames and on pedestals, no longer isolated museum exhibits but narrative elements within an artistic context…

Guan Saihua's solo exhibition "Wearing High Heels Flower" will be held on October 26, 2025, at Yuda Art Space in Beijing 798 Art District. Guan Saihua (born 1986) is from Dali, Yunnan. She graduated from the Painting Department of the School of Art and Design at Yunnan University in 2010, studying under Mao Xuhui and Chen Qunjie. She is currently a freelance artist. Her creations focus on natural mysticism, blending fantasy and emotional expression through a female perspective. Her works are rich in color and full of life imagery. Her works have been exhibited multiple times in Beijing, Kunming, and other places. This exhibition focuses on her floral-themed creations, combining Impressionist light and shadow with Surrealist imagination, presenting a unique interpretation of Bai culture and nature. Exhibition address: Yuxin Art Space, 798 Art District, Chaoyang District, Beijing Exhibition dates: October 26, 2025 to November 18, 2025 Free admission

#discoverchina#art#beijing I have been explored The 798 Art Zone a couple of weeks before. I'm getting exited because it's one of China's most famous contemporary art districts, housed in a repurposed industrial complex in Chaoyang, Beijing. The 798 Art Zone has kind of industrial art vibe, offering a blend of unique architectural style, diverse galleries & studios, hipster cafes and designer shops. The graffities and large-scale sculptures also creates a photogenic, avant-garde atmosphere. Moreover, the street art, colorful graffiti and unique installations make it a paradise for Instagrammers. There have several galleries which hosted the top contemporary art spaces like UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Galleria Continua and Pace Beijing. These galleries featuring both Chinese and international artists. Apart of that, regular art fairs, film screenings, and cultural events also liven up the area. ⏩ The 798 Art Zone is open for FREE, but some galleries and exhibition halls may charge entry (e.g., UCCA). ⏩ Getting There: Take Didi (a Chinese ride-hailing app) or the subway to get to 798, with the nearest metro station being Jiangtai Station (Exit C) on Line 14. 📍2 Jiuxianqiao Rd, Chaoyang, Beijing, China, 100102.

As expected, in a megacity like Beijing, many resources are free. The arts scene is several levels ahead of other cities. . I came to see 798's latest free exhibition early on the weekend. There are 2 areas with a huge space and hundreds of exhibits. You can spend half a day here. . 🎨Exhibition: 2025 Annual Exhibition of Young Artists 100 🎨Venue: Beijing Starry Land Art Center 🎨Time: May 8–May 29 🎨Tickets: Free 🆓 . This was my first time at Starry Land Art Center, and the Lalique exhibition hall at the entrance was very eye-catching. LALIQUE France, a brand known as the "sculptor of light," has a history of more than 130 years. All kinds of crystal products look high-end and textured. The most impressive thing was the new Terre Énergétique series, which is full of texture! . There are also hundreds of paintings by dozens of young artists and art installations to visit in the exhibition hall. There is also an entire floor of paintings on the fourth floor of Building D, where you can continue your visit and overlook the entire Starry Land Art Center. . The exhibition lasts for more than 20 days, which will pass in the blink of an eye. Go now while there are still few people!
