Creativity and Commerce in Beijing

Museums

Art Galleries

Beijing is a fast-changing city with a cultural legacy of more than 5,000 years; in fact, it stretches to the earliest days of the history of mankind. The city deftly blends modernization with its historical legacy; this is vividly revealed in museums, galleries, libraries, and in Beijing’s creative culture.

Creativity and Commerce in Beijing

Beijing’s emerging creative industry is both enhancing the municipality’s culture and generating wealth. In addition to repositioning Beijing as a city of new ideas and new thinking, it is also developing many new centres of culture to delight residents and visitors to the city.

Songzhuang 宋庄

Home and workshop to nearly 1,000 artists, including painters, sculptors, performing artists, musicians, composers, writers, photographers and others connected to the fine arts, along with dozens of new galleries.

It is widely considered more “authentic” than some of the other art communities in the capital.

Nanxincang 南新仓文化休闲街

Formerly a granary serving the imperial family and court officials during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties. Alongside Dongsi Shitiao, just inside the East Second Ring Road, this series of graceful old warehouses, dating to the Yongle period (1403–24), reflects the simple but elegant architectural style of the Ming.

The 600-year-old imperial granary is now a popular restaurant and entertainment venue complete with three art galleries, an audio book shop, a teahouse and several bars and restaurants. Because the old buildings are too precious to be exposed to open flames, its dozen restaurants are housed in newly built pingfang (one-storey traditional buildings). Architects, archaeologists and preservationists were consulted before construction to ensure that the new construction was appropriate for the area.

Happy Valley 欢乐谷主题公园

Happy Valley Beijing, the city’s first major state-of-the-art theme park for thrill-seekers, has set a new standard for China’s young leisure industry. The park is divided into six themed zones featuring 40 rides, including ten “extreme” rides. A modern shopping complex, an IMAX and seven other cinemas, a “Giant Frisbee,” shoot-the-chutes, a flying rollercoaster, space shots, kiddie rides and 120 games come for an all-inclusive price of 160 yuan (US$17.50).

The monumental scale of the Atlantis Zone, the thematic detail of the Maya Zone, the spectacular superman ride and the Giant Frisbee ride that takes 50 people 47 metres up into the air and spins them around are all firsts in China.

Other extreme entertainment includes the park’s Drop Tower, inside which riders are repeatedly powered upward 56.3 metres inside a specially constructed tower before being dropped at a speed of 72.42 kilometres per hour, in a terrifying simulated plunge to earth. Another favourite, the Space Shot is more than 62 metres high, with riders pitched into the air at G-forces similar to those experienced by jet pilots.
