Sunday was a workday.  In the previous post you will understand why.  So, naturally, I didn’t have to work. 🙂  Instead, I decided to partake in the gloriously sunny, blue-sky day and head to the Art District with my friend Jun Ning.  (Remember from the bike ride?)  We met at Sanyuanqiao subway station to board our bus.  It takes a while to get to 798 so we had some good chatting time.  There’s not much to write about 798 so I’ll just share pictures with you.  It was a really great day in the sun!

Near the entrance of 798

Brick Iron

Galleries are in German-style warehouse buildings (formerly for factories). Designed like this to let in the most light. But the windows face north so that the light casts fewer shadows. Each 'room' in the building curves upward and then slants downward. The windows are in the slant.

Jun Ning and I figured out that these were here for you to stand in and have your picture taken. Then we had a grand time laughing with the other Chinese people who were taking part in this!

There was an abundance of graffiti. A lot of it was really cool.

I took many more pictures but I’ll keep it brief on here.  Stay tuned for the next blog update!  I’ll be leaving this weekend to go to Ningxia Province to do some camping in the desert.  Oh, and there will be some camel riding also! 😉
