BEIJING, Aug. 18, 2024 — 798 Art District and 751 D·Park, two of Beijing’s most iconic cultural industry parks, have announced their merger, a move that is expected to enhance the city’s cultural landscape. The merger will create larger venues for cultural events, allowing visitors to move seamlessly between the two parks without any barriers. The “Summer Rhythm” event in August benefited directly from this collaboration, demonstrating the advantages of the merger by bringing together art institutions and commercial entities in both parks to boost the local nightlife scene.

Plans to merge the spaces, brands, and resources of 798 and 751 were unveiled on June 25, 2024, when Beijing Electronics Holdings Co., Ltd. hosted an inaugural meeting to launch the Culture and Technology Platform in Beijing. The goal is to create a world-leading platform that integrates culture and technology. This initiative aims to leverage technological innovation to fuel cultural creativity and drive urban growth through cultural development.

Over two decades, the 798 Art District has become a hub for contemporary art in China, while 751 D·Park has set a benchmark in fashion design. Despite their shared industrial heritage, each park has developed distinct cultural characteristics.

The newly merged parks will form the largest art and creative industry cluster in China, covering over 500,000 square meters and housing more than 600 entities. These include a diverse range of industries such as visual art, design, music, film and theater, media, technology, fashion, automobiles, architecture, and culinary arts. Following the merger, the 798-751 complex will further enhance its infrastructure to enrich Beijing’s public cultural activities.
