Beijing’s 798 Art District and 751 Design Park have joined forces, creating the largest arts and creative industry cluster in China. The combined area of the 798 and 751 districts, now dubbed 798-751, spans over 500,000-square meters and is home to more than 600 galleries, studios, and creative spaces. In June, the industry giant Beijing Electronics Holdings hosted an inaugural meeting to launch a culture and technology platform in the Chinese capital, proposing that Beijing integrate the spaces to leverage advancement in both sectors. 798-751 will continue to host major cultural events such as Summer Rhythm, the 798 International Art Season, the Drama Summer – Beijing Drama Carnival, the 798 Art Festival, and the 751 Tech-Culture Festival. These programs are expected to attract both domestic and international audiences, boosting investment in Beijing’s creative industries and strengthening the city’s position as a cultural and innovation hub.
