A design and creativity park next to 798, converted from the former 751 Plant (gas works): industrial relics such as the slag silo, power tanks and coal-conveyor corridors have been transformed into show venues, exhibition spaces and live music venues; it is the main venue of Beijing International Design Week, with fashion launches and installation art seasons staged in rotation. The industrial aesthetics of the tanks and pipe corridors make it a popular photography spot. Free entry; it merges into 798 and is within walking distance, so the two can be toured together in one day.
Getting there: same as 798
