Dashanzi Pictures : Northeast Beijing's Dashanzi area is the site of many old state-owned enterprises, including Factory 798. Built around 1950 and designed by East German engineers with guidance from Moscow, the factory produced electronic goods for the ar,y. Its walls still bear slogans painted during the Cultural Revolution, in the late 1960s. But with China's modernization, most of the old factory was closed down. In 2002, artists and cultural organizations began to subdivide, rent out, and remodel the unused factory. Now, the rooms where workers once studied the Little Red Book are populated by artists and purveyors of gourmet food. Bringing together contemporary art, architecture and entertainment in a historically interesting setting, 798 has evolved from a munitions factory into a cultural concept influencing Chinese notions of both urban culture and living space. Factory 798 is now considered by many to be the place to go for a look at modern Chinese art. Below is the list of the photos and pictures I took in Dashanzi (Beijing). You can use these photos as a guide to Dashanzi and see some pictures of : old buildings, art galleries, sculptures... For these photos and pictures, the digital camera I used was a Canon EOS 350D (for more information on the material I have been using, follow the link «Lenses» below). At the bottom of the page you can also find a world map showing where Dashanzi is. Finally at the top of the page you can find a link to the conditions for using the photos and pictures for free on benoa.net and a link to my photo blog. Bon Voyage!
