Beijing – Stylish Heath

{Warhol’s Silver Clouds installation at M Woods Gallery in the 798 Art Zone}

798 Art District is located in the Dashanzi area, to the northeast of central Beijing. It is the site of state-owned factories including Factory 798, which originally produced electronics.

Beginning in 2002, artists and cultural organizations began to divide, rent out, and re-make the factory spaces, gradually developing them into galleries, art centers, artists’ studios, design companies, restaurants, and bars.

Our team arrived in the Forbidden City located in the center of historic Beijing, which is an immense palace complex dating from the Ming to the end of the Qing dynasties and is now known as the Palace Museum. It covers 183 acres and is comprised of 9,999 buildings. The architecture of the walled complex adheres rigidly to the traditional Chinese practice of feng-shui. The orientation of the Forbidden City, and for that matter most of Beijing, follows a north-south line.

Several artifacts include a gilded bronze lion at the Gate of Heavenly Purity at the entrance from the Outer Court. Artisans and builders were gathered from all over China to build this palace, while modern architects still marvel at the skill of these builders who created ornate wooden structures that have stood for almost six centuries.
