Housed inside the cavernous buildings of a disused electronics factory, 798 has become
the city's premier art district. It celebrates its proletarian roots via retouched red Maoist slo-
gans decorating gallery interiors and statues of burly, lantern-jawed workers dotting the
lanes, while the voluminous factory workshops are ideally suited to ambitious projects re-
quiring lots of space. Cafes dot the streets, making this a pleasant spot for lunch before you
plug yourself in to the world of some of China's leading artists.
