798 Art District

One of many street sculptures in the 798 Art District, these were actually the highlight of the whole area. It's an ex-industrial area that now has a bunch of galleries instead. It actually feels like a lot of other things in China: they needed a world-class art district, so they've kind of just shoved a whole lot of art into one place and hoped that it works, which it doesn't really, when combined with the fact that so many places here are still being built, and are just not presentable in a world-class way. But I think even that says something about China, they want to develop in every way possible but are still clearly finding their feet. That said, there was some great stuff here. I actually went here the day after KTV (but felt fine!)
