Highly recommended to save! One-day check-in guide for 798 Art District

Finally figured out how to fully explore Beijing 798! Spent an entire afternoon visiting all the must-see spots and put together this super detailed route map to help you avoid pitfalls and take stunning photos that will blow up your social media~ ⛺【Must-Read at the Start】 798 Art District used to be an old industrial factory area, now transformed into Beijing’s trendiest art landmark! The rusty pipes and giant graffiti walls collide to create an industrial-chic vibe—every snap looks like a professional shot. Highly recommend the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, which often hosts special exhibitions (remember to book in advance!). 👟【Walking Route】 Enter from Gate 2 → ① Orange Dinosaur Sculpture → ② Liu Wen Mural Wall (Red Stone Square is super slimming) → ③ Rotating Tower Café → ④ Red Horse Head Installation → ⑤ Persian Cultural Center (the stained glass is dreamy) → ⑥ Dumpling Shop with Vintage Facade → ⑦ Vintage Alley (Cat’s Travel Suitcase is great for shopping) → ⑧ Fabric Storefront → ⑨ Sandwich Shop → ⑩ UCCA Exhibition → ⑪ Locomotive Square → ⑫ Graffiti Building → ⑬ Vintage Camera Shop (opens at 12:30!) → ⑭ Pink Café → ⑮ Pupu Desserts → ⑯ Giant Mural (Modern Automotive Culture Center) → Exit from Gate 4. 🛌【Accommodation Tips】 Recommend staying in Sanlitun! Orange Hotel/CitiGO Huange is a 10-minute walk to the subway, super convenient for going to 798 (15 minutes by taxi). 🧡【Hard-Earned Tips】 ☑️ Exit from Exit A of Jiantai Subway Station and take the bus to save 20 minutes compared to walking ☑️ No photography allowed in vintage shops! Ask the staff in advance ☑️ Buy water at the convenience store near Gate 2; prices inside the park are heavily marked up ☑️ Best photo time: 12:00-18:00 (soft light + all shops open) Art student sisters, go for it! This route has a 200% success rate for great shots! 798 Art District
