Today i was on my way to a photo exhibition about the reform since 1978 to 2009. 1978 is a very important year for China because that's when they allowed foreign companies into the Chinese market and also foreign investments in China. Too bad that the exhibition was hidden so well that we didn't find if :(
No matter, instead we went to good old 798 which used to be a factory but now days works as a gallery for modern artist. 798 is actually the number of the factory that used to operate at this area more than 50 years ago. When the factory was abandoned, a lot of artists moved in and made it into studios. Today that place is rather commercial and a tourist attraction, never the less, they had a interesting thing here: A room full of airpumps blowing on flags pictured as children. That room had a louder sound than any club I've ever been to, even beats the airport! Not to mention how energy efficient it is :)
Also some pictures from a random gallery we found far outside the city.
