Beijing modern art museums 2026: what's still open in Dashanzi?
UCCA still, but M WOODS 798 closed.
red brick art museum in hegezhuang still worth the trip
Honestly the more interesting shift is toward the small project spaces, not the big names. Around Caochangdi, Tabula Rasa and the little spaces off the main drag are showing sharper work than most 798 venues right now, and they change shows every few weeks. 798 still works for a full afternoon, but go on a weekday since weekends there are packed with tour groups by 11am.
the weekday tip is real, i'd add that the galleries around the 798 west gate tend to open later, like 11 or noon, so plan around that
yeah and some of those west gate spots close mondays too so check hours before u trek out
Some open 10, some 1pm. Check each gallery's WeChat.
A798 opens 10:30 sharp, worth the earlier start
West gate spots like A798 and the neighboring studios often don't unlock until noon, so hit 798's main drag first and loop back west after lunch.
Agreed, though the project spaces along the side lanes near 草场地 change shows so often that a place can vanish between visits, so check ahead.
Caochangdi's side lanes also empty out on Mondays, so Tuesday to Thursday is when you'll actually catch the people running those spaces.
Beijing work permit 2026: what paperwork do I need?
Your employer starts the Foreigner's Work Permit notification online before you fly, then you enter on a Z visa and convert it to the residence permit within 30 days. The usual screwup is degree and police clearance documents not being notarised and legalised properly, plus the medical check timing.
Get the medical done in Beijing, not abroad
True, only the Beijing International Travel Healthcare Center on Hepingli Beijie issues the certificate the exit-entry bureau actually accepts.
yeah do it here, the overseas clinics often get rejected at the counter. book the appt online a week ahead & go early, the queue is rough
bring ur passport & a couple of photos, & expect the results to take about 4 working days
Also criminal record check has to be under 6 months old
the 30 days is calendar days not working days, caught me out
