798 Art Zone (Japanese pronunciation: nana-kyu-hachi geijutsu-ku; Chinese name: 798 Yishuqu; pinyin: 798 Yìshùqū; English name: 798 Art Zone) is a district in Chaoyang, Beijing. Also called the Dashanzi Art District. Factories built in the early 1950s with East German technical assistance and later repurposed are concentrated here, housing many artists’ studios and residences and galleries established from China, Japan, and other countries. As an artists’ community, it is often compared to New York’s Greenwich Village or SoHo. Since the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (Ullens Center for Contemporary Art) opened in 2007 in the renovated “Factory 798,” this area has become a central contemporary-art district of Beijing, China.
