GeekArt visits the 798 Arts Zone, DaShanZi, BeiJing

A contemporary arts zone in north east BeiJing with many galleries, bookshops, cafes and more. Changes all the time; though some 1950s factory look lingers. If you like to wander and come across the unexpected, it is well worth a visit.

A fascinating place and an example of the 'new China'.
