798 Art District: Industrial backdrops and cinematic finds

Beijing's 798 Art District turns old factory floors into gallery spaces and rusted pipes into photo backdrops. Industrial relics meet contemporary art at every turn.

During the 16th Beijing International Film Festival, the district becomes part of the city's cinematic landscape. Film screenings, artist talks and installations pop up among the brick alleys. For travelers looking for more than landmarks, this is where Beijing shows a different side. Graffiti-covered walls, hidden courtyards, and repurposed machinery create scenes worth pausing for.
