Just as the aged people need our care and love, the industrial heritage sites (工业遗址) are also expected to be filled with energy through protection and development. The following are some typical examples.
The 798 Art Zone, Beijing 798
Built in the 1950s as No 718 Joint Factory, it was gradually deserted in the 1990s as production slowed down. In 2006, Beijing local government turned the factory into a cultural and art zone. Now the art zone holds about 200 galleries (展览馆), art centers as well as fashionable shops, cafes, and restaurants, which also earns it a place on the to-do list of many tourists.
Taoxichuan Ceramic Art Avenue, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi
Jingdezhen City is known as China’s porcelain capital (瓷都). It has made good use of old ceramics (陶瓷) factories and built a place named Taoxichuan Ceramic Art Avenue. Nearly 15,000 Chinese and foreign makers have come to set up their own businesses there.
