Take a guide like Jeffrey with you - Jeffrey was very good at showing me different areas of 798 - it is huge and you could easily get lost. I appreciated that he was very attentive to steps etc to ensure I didn’t fall. He also tried to get a sense of what kind of art I liked. I was interested in modern sculptures. We also visited a couple of design stores. I would suggest coming here in the afternoon as studios and galleries etc open at approx 11 AM or later.

Unique artsy experience gives a taste of modern Beijing - The 798 Art District is a must-see if you’re visiting Beijing. It’s a different flavor from the other historical sites most people see, giving you a chance to see the vibrant modern art scene and also do some unique shopping. My wife and I had a wonderful afternoon browsing the galleries and studios- the wide variety of art is really amazing. Jeffrey was a very helpful guide, helping us seek out unique art and also translating the details of the art we enjoyed. Just walking around the district is a treat too, there’s plenty of cafes to keep you going and enough trees to beat the heat even in June. Highly recommended!
