798 And 751’s Merger Makes It the Largest Art and Creative Industry Cluster in China
August 18 2024 - 11:52AM
798 Art District and 751 D·Park, two of Beijing's most iconic
cultural industry parks, have announced their merger, a move set to
enhance the city's cultural landscape. This merger will provide
larger venues for cultural events, enabling visitors to move
seamlessly between the two parks without barriers. The "Summer
Rhythm" event in August was directly benefited from this
collaboration, highlighting the advantages of the merger by
bringing together art institutions and commercial entities in both
parks to boost the local nightlife scene.

Tracing back to June 25, 2024, when Beijing Electronics Holdings
Co., Ltd. hosted an inaugural meeting to launch the Culture and
Technology Platform in Beijing, plans were unveiled to merge the
spaces, brands, and resources of 798 and 751, with the aim of
creating a world-leading platform that integrates culture and
technology. This initiative seeks to harness technological
innovation to fuel cultural creativity and drive urban growth
through cultural development.
Over more than two decades, the 798 Art District has emerged as
a hub for contemporary art in China, while 751 D·Park has set a
benchmark in fashion design. Despite their shared industrial
heritage, each park has developed distinct cultural
characteristics.

The newly merged parks will form the largest art and creative
industry cluster in China, spanning over 500,000 square meters and
hosting more than 600 entities. These include a diverse range of
industries such as visual art, design, music, film and theater,
media, technology, fashion, automobiles, architecture, and culinary
arts. Following the merger, the 798-751 complex will further
enhance its infrastructure to enrich Beijing’s public cultural
activities.

International Art Season, Drama Summer - Beijing Drama Carnival,
798 Art Festival, and the 751 Tech-Culture Festival will be held in

multiple events in 798-751 will dramatically boost cultural
consumption, inject innovative energy into the cultural industry,
and establish the area as a cultural tourism destination in
Beijing, recognized for its "International Vision, Art Leadership,
Fashion Consumption, and Industrial Heritage."
