Dashanzi Art Shop, China 大山子

Read a guide to Dashanzi - the center of Beijing's modern art scene in the north east of the Chinese capital. Located in the Chaoyang District, this former complex of decommissioned military factory buildings (originally built in the 1950s) has evolved from a small artists' enclave into one of Beijing's most famous cultural and creative hubs. The popular area has a high concentration of contemporary art galleries, artist studios, design companies, fashion shops, cafes, and restaurants. It is anchored by major institutions like the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art.
