How to arrange the itinerary of 798 Art District?

Self-help Tour Dashanzi Art Zone Dashanzi Art Zone is best said to be 798. Hanging out in 798 is a strange trip. Here, the mutual impact of vision and the back and forth impact of time can be seen everywhere, and maverick art and fashionable business go hand in hand. In the empty workshop, the red language on the wall is especially in the revolutionary era, but it is not just heavy machinery; The broadcast of grasping revolution and promoting production has long been annihilated, leaving the earliest perceptual memory of socialist life.

Now 798 is a pioneer and experimental base. Studio has developed into an artist's studio, gallery, bar, restaurant, club, sculpture factory, magazine editing room, boutique and fashion shop, creating a local attic culture. Address: No.4 Jiuxianqiao Road Transportation: Take bus No.401,402, 405, 4 18, 630, 8 13 at Dashanzi Station.

The new three-day tour route in Beijing has a short time, but the itinerary is compact, which can be said to be the existence of Beijing's history and modernity. It takes a lot of effort to choose a scenic spot. Be sure to find someone who knows Beijing well! On June 23rd, 2007, we arrived at Beijing Railway Station at 9: 42 a.m., then went to our new home, a good friend and a close friend to rest, and then we went to the 798 factory (address: 2-4 Jiuxianqiao, Chaoyang District).

This place is not familiar to all Beijingers. My good friend, my husband and wife both study architecture, and they are both in Chaoyang District, which is close to where they live, so I especially recommend this place to me. This used to be the compound of the former 798 factory, namely the North China Radio Equipment Joint Factory, which was established in September 1952 and designed and built by experts from the former GDR. Its architectural design inherits the Bauhaus style, insists on meeting the needs of modern large-scale industrial production and life, and is characterized by emphasizing architectural functions, technology and economic benefits. It is a rare treasure of modern industrial architecture.

Since 2002, a group of artists and cultural institutions have taken a fancy to the quiet environment and convenient transportation of 798 and its surrounding factories, especially attracted by the artistic value and energy of Bauhaus architectural style, which is also rare in Asia, and have settled here one after another, renting and renovating vacant factories on a large scale. This place has gradually developed into galleries, art centers, artists' studios, design companies, fashion shops, restaurants, bars and other space bureaus. Form an international color. At present, more than 300 domestic and foreign institutions, such as Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (France), Evergreen Gallery (Italy), Time and Space (China), Blank Space (Germany), Li 798/ Red Gate Gallery (Australia) and Marile Gallery (Italy), have settled in the 798 Art Zone.

At present, Beijing 798 Art Zone has become one of the first ten cultural and creative industrial zones in Beijing, and was listed as one of the first cultural and creative industrial clusters in Chaoyang District by the Chaoyang District Government in July 2006. The atmosphere of 798 block as a creative area and cultural park is taking shape. American Time magazine named 798 Art District as one of the 22 most culturally iconic urban art centers. 055-79000 compares this place to SOHO new york Times, the gathering place of contemporary artists in new york. The United States lists Beijing as one of the world's 12 cities because of the existence of the 798 Art District. This shows that this is the representative place of modern Beijing culture.

What's more, this cultural area is completely open to the outside world, and anyone can come and feel the baptism and impact of art for free. Although today is Saturday, not many people came. Mainly students and artists. If it is a working day, I'm afraid there will be fewer poor tourists. Think about the huge Beijing city, capital and cultural center, and enjoy free art, not to mention other cities. Although there are similar art venues in Shanghai, many of them charge fees, and the scale is not that big.

If I am lucky enough to live or live in Beijing, I will definitely come at least once a week and be infected by this art, looking at the mottled red brick walls, graffiti with different styles and posters of artistic activities complement each other. In the tall factory building, the quotations of Chairman Mao in Zhu color complement modern artworks such as paintings and sculptures, and the strong contrast between history and modernity impacts my audio-visual experience.

From time to time, I recall the red era and the spirit of unity, browse the works of art on the wall, on the ground, in space, or freehand brushwork or abstract or true reflection of our current life, and can't help but sigh the leap of the times and the changes in life/thoughts. It's almost 2 pm. We found a Sichuan restaurant for lunch. In the art district, even the name of the restaurant is very artistic, called Tianxia Salt (Sichuan Food Studio 6). It doesn't sound like Sichuan food. We enter through the back door. This hotel was rebuilt on the basis of the original factory or warehouse. The characteristics of that era can still be clearly displayed on walls and posters.

There are also interesting comments about the origin of food on the wall, which adds a touch of freshness to this restaurant. I served a bunch of free tea before ordering. This kind of tea is made of a special kind of leaves. The color is rust red, and there is no special taste. I heard that it can clear the fire. We ordered their specialty here, 38 yuan/portion, and everyone put fish in the pot; Glutinous rice 18 yuan/serving; Sichuan bean jelly 12 yuan/serving. Everyone's stewed fish is a bit like smoked fish in the south, but the spicy and sweet taste goes deep into the fish, which is very delicious. Sichuan bean jelly is also quite authentic, only with a beet pumpkin glutinous rice. Sweetness can not only slightly remove the spicy feeling in the mouth, but also be used as a staple food.

It's not expensive, and the food tastes good. If you have the chance to go to the 798 factory, you can try this dish! After a rest, I left the factory, but the factory was too big, and some studios were hidden in the old factory, which was not easy to find. It will take two days to have a good stroll. After all, the time of this trip is limited, so we should seize every scenic spot! At 3 pm, we took a bus and changed at Chaoyang Park to Dongzhimenwai Street (Gulou East Street). There are tall trees on both sides of this street. Walking in the shade of trees and looking at the long road, I feel a little old Beijing. Dessert is my favorite. Here, my good friend specially recommends Sanyuan Meiyuan, a special dessert shop in Beijing (Sanyuan is a famous milk in Beijing, which was later acquired and called Sanyuan Meiyuan). There is one on this street. The facade is not big, but there are still many people. I ordered oatmeal cheese (8 yuan), my good friend ordered kiwi cheese (6 yuan), and we each ordered a new dark plum juice (6 yuan/cup).

After all, it is hot and needs a lot of physical strength. It's really cool to enjoy dessert and dark plum juice! I can't believe it's not enough. I also ordered two egg skins (3.5 yuan/one). The clerk said that this is the best dessert sold in their store, with the highest click-through rate. The result is cheese, which has no special taste. It feels so-so. And a small plate of cheese (5 yuan/serving). Just try it. It tastes quite full. At 4: 20 pm, after enjoying the perfect dessert, walk west along Dongzhimenwai Street, which is the Drum Tower. Cross a famous alley and come to Yinding Bridge in Houhai (Shichahai). After all, there are not many waters in Beijing, and Houhai has become the best place for people to relax at ordinary times, and Houhai at night truly reflects its beauty.

There are bars and restaurants around the seaside, most of which are bars, and almost all of them have sofas at the door. Except for the different colors, the styles are basically the same. According to my good friend's artistic vision, this kind of decoration is too similar at first, and it feels more like entering the red light district. We walked around the lake for a week, but there were ducks in the lake, and leisure people were fishing leisurely by the lake. There are many historical buildings around Houhai, such as Soong Ching Ling's former residence, Gongwangfu and Yangfang Hutong. If you have time during the day, you can visit some of them. Considering your physical strength, you can rent a bike to go to the lake, or human tricycles can take you to Hutong for a sea trip. At six o'clock in the afternoon, we were tired of walking, so we went into a bar called Sunshine on July 7 and went to the second floor. At this time, it was getting dark. Just in time to enjoy the night view of Houhai.

I ordered a glass of Margelite Margirate(38 yuan/glass), and my good friend ordered the special cocktail of this bar, Qiqijing (48 yuan/glass). Special cocktails are colorful, and the red at the bottom is very sweet. Mine is very strong, and the salt on the side of the cup melts the strong smell of wine in my mouth. In the middle of the night, there are even cruise ships rippling in Houhai. The lights of the bar shoot into the lake from different angles and reflect different colors in the lake waves. At this time, the flow of people in Houhai reached its peak and it was bustling. We sat on the second floor and looked at the people and things on the road and in the lake. It's a classic old song played in a nearby bar. The table at the back is full of foreigners, and the chat is very lively. I gradually put my legs on the sofa.

Actually, the sofa is not very clean. Maybe there are too many people, or too many people who can't drink well. Only in this way can I relax and enjoy the noise and wine quietly. At eight o'clock in the evening, we left Houhai and went to Gui Street, a famous snack street, which I have seen in travel books. Just above a section of Dongzhimen Street, red lanterns are hung on both sides of the street, which is the characteristic sign of Guijie Street. Although it's just after supper time, there are still many people. Speaking of snacks, I really want to taste the characteristics of Beijing. Perhaps it is the season to eat crayfish, and most shops are promoting specialty lobsters. Later, we waited in line for a fresh fish and shrimp roast bar or something.

My good friend's husband joined us after working overtime. We ordered their special spicy crayfish (32 yuan/serving), edamame/peanut cold dish platter (7.5 yuan/serving), fruit salad (12 yuan/serving), cucumber dipping sauce (8 yuan/serving), mutton kebabs (1.5 yuan/serving), and roasted snail (3 yuan/serving). This spicy crayfish is too spicy, only those cold dishes can eliminate the spicy. Those kebabs are not expensive, but they are still good, especially the roasted snails. I didn't expect them to be so delicious that they can be compared with snails in French food. The first day of eating, drinking and having fun in Beijing is over, and the next day is my self-help tour! 07-6-24 The next day, I acted alone.

The Great Wall is the place I have always longed for. One of the world heritages that China people have always been proud of is that you are not a hero until you reach the Great Wall, which is my main destination today. In order to give myself more time to climb the Great Wall, I got up at 6: 0010 in the morning and took a bus outside Deshengmen. This bus route is basically the same as the tour route on the first day. After all, Deshengmen and Drum Tower/Houhai are close, so I can enjoy the scenery along the way in the car. It is impossible to see through and appreciate the profoundness of Beijing in a short time. I checked other people's travel guides in advance and knew that I could take the 9 19 bus outside Deshengmen to the Badaling Great Wall. However, at 7: 20 in the morning, I arrived at the south gate of Deshengmen, saw Line 9 19 (Branch Line 2), and asked the bus driver and conductor if they were going to Badaling.

They chatted and ignored me. At this time, many people nearby kindly said that the 9 19( 1 line) to Badaling was waiting in line. Look, some people have been waiting here. At this time, an old man in blue short sleeves with a badge on his chest said, please wait a moment, so I casually asked how much the fare was. I was shocked when he said he wanted 45 yuan. I saw on the internet that it used to cost more than ten yuan, and the express train only cost more than twenty yuan. Suddenly rose to 45 yuan. He also said that there is nothing so cheap now. Later, he told several other people that instead of waiting so long, it was better for several people to charter a car together, and it was cheaper to take a bus alone in 40 yuan. Said the bus didn't leave until it was full

I feel more and more strange. If you really wait until people are full before driving, you may not be able to drive in the off-season. They lobbied others again. Anyway, I'm alone, and I don't need a chartered car. The person with the badge also said that we are all from the same company, with fast cars and cheap average prices.

I said your company is also strange. Why do cars divert the passenger flow of big cars? There are two pairs of young people around me. They seem to come from the same place. They are strongly opposed to chartered cars. One of the men said that it was full of mountain roads and it was dangerous for cars to pass by. If you let us off on the road, will you really not let them kill you at will? We have been waiting, ignoring the siege of those franchise lobbies.

But seeing many 9 19 cars coming from far away, we just can't see any cars parked in our queue. After a while, one of the young people quietly asked me to go with them. We crossed a road to the east, but I didn't expect the 9 19 road to be on the side of the road, and there were people waiting in line. So we complained to the conductor that someone there lied that the 9 19 bus was waiting there. I didn't expect the conductor to say that you didn't see them not wearing the bus driver's clothes? It was discovered that although the man wore a blue uniform, he was still different from the uniform of the Beijing bus conductor, at least there was no bus sign on his chest. I was lamenting the lack of bus stop signs and the popularity of swindlers, when I heard another man in the young couple say that it was a pity that he didn't inform others because he was worried that it would be more troublesome to provoke those swindlers. His girlfriend said, mind your own business, after all, you are out.

Think for yourself, it's best not to get involved in such a thing. So I blame all this on the unclear identification and chaotic management of Beijing's public transport system. It was already 8: 08 in the morning when I got on the bus. Calm down and enjoy this free trip. Ticket price from No.99 to Badaling Great Wall 12 yuan. If you have a Beijing bus card, you can get a 20% discount, only 9.60 yuan. Road 99 also passes through Juyongguan Great Wall. When I saw the Juyongguan Great Wall, my heart was full of blood, but I still suppressed this enthusiasm. After all, Badaling Great Wall is much more famous than Juyongguan Great Wall. At 9: 50 am, I got off the 9 19 road and followed the signs to the gate of Badaling Great Wall.

On the way up, a stone tablet that you are not a hero and can't reach the Great Wall was erected. Of course, you can't just let it go. Although only one person is traveling, you still have the face to let other tourists take pictures of you. 10am went to the ticket office at the entrance of Badaling Great Wall and bought a postcard ticket (45 yuan). Tickets are divided into key cards (probably for people who often climb the Great Wall, so paper tickets are less wasted) and postcard tickets (with four stamps and the scenery and route introduction of Badaling Great Wall). The price of the two tickets is the same. Holding the ticket in hand, I began to climb the Badaling Great Wall in my mind! The climbing route map shows two routes, one is the northern route with 18 beacon tower and the other is the southern route without 10 beacon tower.

Of course, I resolutely chose to take the northern route. There are many people climbing mountains at this time. On the mountain of the northern line, the Chinese characters of the same dream of the 2008 Olympic Games are erected, and people take pictures as a souvenir before that. I've climbed and photographed, and I enjoyed it. Originally, I thought that the Great Wall was full of steps, but when I climbed, the direction of the Great Wall was high and low, and there were steps, and the road was very flat. This may be the reason why the Great Wall can meander in the mountains. Looking at the tourist souvenirs with personal names written all over the wall, I wonder why China people desecrate the ancient ruins of China in this way. Don't people have a deep sense of history? The only expression is a selfish sense of victory with strong possessiveness and a narrow sense of stepping on the Great Wall.

Suddenly my heart was filled with a kind of inexplicable sadness. In fact, in recent years, for many tourist attractions in China, commercialization is full of culture and history, and the Great Wall is used by children as a tool to make money without exception. Any certificate of hero stone/hero slope is only for those who spend money after taking pictures. Maybe it will make them feel that they have been to the Great Wall. These are the tools that people built on the Great Wall after applying for government approval for their own interests.

It's so funny to see these people queuing up to take pictures with tools made by others! I climbed to a crowded beacon tower and was blocked, so I turned to another road and continued walking. Watching the dragon hovering in the distant mountains, I was full of enthusiasm and moved on. The road gets steeper and steeper, and fewer and fewer people go forward. I thought I could climb to an uninhabited place and sit quietly with the dragon for a while, remembering or imagining, but I didn't expect it to be really difficult to find an undisturbed place. The road is getting harder and harder. I didn't expect that some places were steeper than the worse gate of Mount Tai, and even some places didn't even have steps. The long steep slope is too slippery, so you can only grab the iron handrails on both sides and move forward.

Someone invented the method of walking backwards to deal with steep slopes, which is more effective. Unconsciously, it has come to an end, that is, the beacon tower on the northern line is closed. In fact, this section of the road doesn't even have iron handrails. Now, I suddenly understand why there are handrails on the Great Wall. Handrails are added just to facilitate tourists to climb. Looking at the dragon in the distance, I can only regret to say that I can't go on with you. So I walked down this slope and headed for the exit. In the morning 12: 30, take the 9 19 bus and ask the conductor how many stops are there from here to Juyongguan. The bus company stipulates that the fare is 10 yuan. Think of the Badaling Great Wall, choose a section and the head and tail are blocked. The same is probably true of other Great Walls.

In that case, there is little point in climbing the Great Wall again. So I used text messages to say hello to my friends in the car and where to go next. Before I came to Beijing, I said that I must visit the Bird's Nest, which is a famous venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. She said Deshengmen is not far from there, so I plan to go to the Bird's Nest next. PM/KLOC-0: 40 arrived at Deshengmen, took bus No.315 to the north of Jiande Bridge, got off one stop earlier than told, and decided to go by yourself. After all, a person is free and will soon arrive at the national park. Actually, the ticket is 95 yuan, but this park is very big, occupying both sides of the road. I think it's for the 2008 Olympic Games to promote the world's understanding of China's ethnic minorities, so I walked north along Beichen West Road. It's still under construction, but it's not finished. The Bird's Nest is just north of Beichen Road, just past the Fourth Ring Road. You can see busy construction workers standing on the bird's nest in the distance.

Although I didn't enjoy it at close range, it at least satisfied my vision. The 2008 Olympic Games is coming, which worries me about the progress of the venues. After the fourth ring tunnel, it's already 3 pm. It's still early to go back. Let's go shopping. Last time I went to Tsinghua, I didn't go to the Summer Palace/Yuanmingyuan. It's more convenient to go there, so I take the 737 bus to the Summer Palace. Enter the Summer Palace at 4: 20 pm and get off at two stops in advance. In fact, the East Gate Station of the Summer Palace is still some distance away from the Summer Palace, so I walked to the South Gate of the Summer Palace by feeling. Tickets for 35 yuan, excluding other attractions, close at 5: 30 pm. A big ticket is enough for me.

There are still many people at this time, especially many tour groups. I didn't expect to find a few people to take pictures of me, two of whom were Koreans. It seems that the first choice for Koreans to travel is the history, culture and scenery of China. The only advantage of more tour groups is that they can listen to the introduction and explanation of scenic spots for free. What corrupt stones, as well as the jade boat built for Cixi, are amazing in scale and materials.

Think about the internal and external troubles at that time. This country spends so much manpower, material resources and financial resources just for personal enjoyment, how can it not die? Walking in the corridor, thunder and lightning, dark clouds suddenly gathered, and the wind was blowing hard. This is the advantage of rainy days in the north. It is going to rain heavily. I quickened my pace and neglected to appreciate the surrounding architectural scenery. However, I didn't expect a downpour from the sky. Although I was lucky enough to bring an umbrella, I couldn't resist the storm. So I took shelter from the rain in the rain pavilion in the north of Yuzhou Bridge.

Some people are already sheltering from the rain. This rain pavilion is a rectangular bridge pavilion. Because of the heavy wind and rain, the rain has swept into the northern half of the storm pavilion, and people are close together and hiding in the southern half. The rain also gave me a chance to appreciate the jade boat. In fact, the jade boat has been damaged, and the damaged part has been repaired and filled with cement. In the rain, jade is whiter and more transparent due to the impact of water.

Although tourists are now forbidden to enter the jade boat, it seems that the prestige and luxury of Cixi boarding the jade boat at that time are just around the corner. This jade ship has witnessed the changes and vicissitudes of China for hundreds of years and is still fulfilling its mission. Finally, it rained a little. I opened my umbrella and left the imperial garden. At 5 pm, leave the north gate of the park. At 5: 30 in the afternoon, I took the 7 18 bus back to my good friend's house. Today is a review of history and a witness to the future. Tomorrow is the last day in Beijing. I want to know what the plan is for tomorrow. This is the last day of my trip to Beijing. Don't be too tight. After all, I have to stay up late at night and have to work tomorrow. So I slept in the morning and woke up naturally to relieve my physical exertion two days ago.

At half past nine in the morning, we set out from my good friend. Today's trip is to experience the life of old Beijingers, so we got off at Tiananmen Square by subway. At 10: 30 in the morning, I arrived at Wang Hongbin Street in the east of Tiananmen Square. The Forbidden City is in the west, Wangfujing Street and Dongdan are in the east. The teahouse and opera house in old Beijing are still there. Wang Hongbin is really a special place in Beijing. It is located in the southeast of the Forbidden City. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was once a part of the imperial city. These buildings are basically official institutions, dedicated to palace life and daily affairs of the royal family. It's always a restricted area. You can't just enter. Among them, China Palace (now Pudu Temple) has a history of more than 300 years, formerly known as Mahalo Temple, with winding stone steps and lush ancient trees. China Palace was once occupied by Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen and Qing Rui's Prince Dourgen, and it is famous far and near. After the Revolution of 1911, the imperial city was no longer banned, and ordinary people came to live in Wang Hongbin, forming an ordinary house with quadrangles as the basic style.

Walking north along Wang Hongbin Street, there is even a solo exhibition in the abandoned ancient buildings. The dilapidated ancient buildings are in sharp contrast with today's artworks. I lament that Beijing is full of history, culture and art everywhere. Even after only staying for three days, I feel as if I have been infected by such a strong cultural heritage. The quadrangles on both sides were later renovated, but some original traces remained. There are knockers on the big red door, some lion heads, handles in the mouth, some circles and small casting points. I don't want to break into other people's yard and disturb others, but through the open or unlocked door, everything inside is crowded together, and the space is used so well that people have lived in this space and environment for so long, generation after generation. North along Wang Hongbin Street is Beichi Street, thinking that the west is the Palace, and people's lives are separated by a street or a wall.

This also makes a world of difference. Slowly, I came to Jingshan Qian Jie and strolled in Wang Hongbin Street and Beichizi Street at that time. I didn't feel so close to the imperial city at all. Seeing the turrets and moats of the imperial city, I feel that such a big city is really out of reach. This Forbidden City is not in my plan. I think it is full of big red walls and magnificent halls. People living in it are struggling. Depression and pain left the castle with more wealth than they got. So I'd better go to Jingshan Park to make up the panorama. Arrive at Jingshan Park at 12: 00 in the morning. Tickets to 2 yuan. In fact, it is an ordinary park, except for the hills inside which people can overlook the whole Forbidden City, Beihai, Drum Tower and so on. Different angles can feel different beauty of the same thing. Even many tour groups will arrange to visit here. Therefore, it is highly recommended to go to Beijing and Jingshan Park.

There is a temple on the top of Jingshan Mountain. It is said that this is a royal garden, so the upper class often comes here to worship. PM 1:30 I left Jingshan Park and found a place to rest and eat. My good friend suggested going to Xidan, where there are many places to eat. So we went to Xidan by bus. At 2: 20 pm, I saw a spicy temptation upstairs in Xidan Zhongyou Department Store.

After all, I am out of the house and can't even eat well. How can I have fun? The overall red decoration is more appetizing at first glance, and then look at the sofas on both sides of the table. One side is black and the other side is red. The back of the sofa is not flat, but inclined. In this way, two sofas with different colors are back to back, forming a picture of black and red crossing. Of course, this is a special restaurant in Sichuan. The picture of mandarin duck and fish jelly on the menu attracted us, so we ordered one, which is to put some peas, medlar and mushrooms, mainly plastic dishes, in bean jelly. There will be two flavors of seasoning, and the taste is average. However, the griddle here is delicious. After all, I missed the meal time, so there were not many people.

And I ordered afternoon tea, sent a cake and chatted while eating. I left the restaurant at 4: 30 in the afternoon, thinking that I didn't have time to go shopping again, and I found a fruit fishing dessert shop to satisfy myself again. It's just a mango cold drink promotion, so I ordered two mango drinks. Considering taking the train at night and not eating Beijing snacks, I put my dinner in Gino restaurant in Italy. For some reason, there are no snails. They said that they changed the menu now and ordered seafood fried rice, a pudding, a spicy chicken wing and freshly squeezed juice. I wonder if it's because I'm leaving. I think this meal is the worst. Suddenly subverted the status of Italian Keno in my heart. I'm finally leaving Beijing, but Beijing is too big and abstruse. I only saw it for a few days or ten days. I look forward to coming to Beijing next time. By then, it will be another kind of mood and harvest!
