798 Space
Beijing's prominent art district is home to 798 Space, an art
gallery housed in a former electronics factory that built
components for China's first atomic bomb and early satellites.
Exhibiting the latest in contemporary Chinese art in its lofty
space, 798 Space is a visual delight to any traveller. Besides the
regular national and international exhibitions, there is also a
film and video viewing area and a tempting gallery bookshop. The
precinct itself is dotted with avant-garde statues, charming coffee
shops and noodle bars, and a plethora of other wonderful art
galleries to visit.

Admission
Language
The official language is Mandarin Chinese, but there are
hundreds of local dialects.
Money
The currency used in China is the Renminbi Yuan (CNY). The Yuan
is divided into 10 chiao/jiao or 100 fen. Make sure you exchange
your leftover Yuan before returning home because this currency can
be exchanged only within China's borders. Travellers cheques,
preferably in US Dollars, and foreign cash can be exchanged in
cities at the Bank of China. Banks are closed weekends. The larger
hotels and the special 'Friendship Stores' designed for foreigners
will accept most western currencies for purchases. Major credit
cards are accepted in the main cities at various establishments,
but outside the major cities acceptance is limited. ATMs are scarce
outside the main cities.
