		Some background: Dashanzi was set up by Chinese and East German defense technicians as a model of communist bloc comradeship in the 1950's.
		But Dashanzi's owners now want to redevelop the zone as the result of an ironic twist of fate: Since new-age artists have flocked to the low-rent complex, the property value of the area has skyrocketed.
		"Dashanzi is a symbol of artistic freedom and of China's new civil society," With an international spotlight shining on the district this May, Dashanzi could survive long after 2008.

		The Dashanzi Art District -- known simply as "798" to aficionados and located in the northeastern part of the city -- is the best example to date of a site where foreign visitors can see for themselves the serious art scene that has developed in Beijing.
		However, since this building was where the development of Dashanzi into a center for contemporary Chinese art began, the number itself has become a symbol of the entire complex.
		One appreciates the achievements of Dashanzi Art District’s Chinese initiators even more when comparing it to a publicly sponsored and curated cultural institute such as the National Art Museum of China.

		Li, however, was clearly concerned that the studio artists atmosphere he values at Dashanzi will ultimately be ruined by an increase of bars and parties and sightseers.
		While many are already advocating the Dashanzi Arts Territory as having a "SoHo-like industrial chic" and a Chinese version of the fashionable "Loft Lifestyle," some are starting to worry this could be another eye-catching "bubble" in China's drastically changing contemporary arts scene.

		Galleries in Dashanzi openly display nudity and sexually explicit pictures, but even a flat image of political leaders seems to make the censors queasy.
