Art 798
This is a large art precinct in north eastern Beijing on what used to an old electronics factory site. The area is very large and I had insufficient time to explore it all. There were art galleries, nick nack shops, fashion designer clothing and various art exhibitions. One shop’s entire stock consisted of items, mainly sculptural rather than clothing, fashioned from crochet.
