Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, Mao… these are the classic tourist attractions of Beijing.
But you shouldn’t miss the 798 Art District if you happen to be in Beijing.

Located on the site of an abandoned electronic factory, the area is now full of shops, cafes, artists’ studios and galleries, showcasing contemporary and emerging Chinese art.

Bauhaus-style warehouses, with graffiti and old Maoist slogans all over the walls, rusty pipes and cranes… that’s an amazing place to explore!
