Today a good portion of the group went to the 798 Art District in Beijing. It is a pretty trendy and commercial place, but is also completely fascinating. 798 is situated in an old industrial area and is an ideal setting for galleries and street art. Most of the galleries request that you don’t take photos, and I respected that for the most part. Because of this a lot of the shots are of graffiti, which is something I really enjoy and saw very little of in China. If you are ever in Beijing and you like art I HIGHLY recommend stopping through 798.

Awesome. Your blog has inspired me to want to see China. So I’m going to wait til the Planet Earth show does “China” and I’ll watch it. They use big cameras and fly and such, so I’m pretty sure it’ll be the same thing. Nice work bro.
