Another classic

[@Nicofilms]

Thanks Alex!

[@BarrettYT]

That place looks awesome I'll visit there when I come to Beijing. Got to say, top job on that edit too Jack!

[@Nicofilms]

Thanks! Yes he's a great editor for sure. You should, the historical sites are amazing but this is a fun thing to do.

[@jayoesucksxiballs9591]

Yeah top job

[@AlexAbsolute]

This place looks awesome! Love that street art, its on my list for when I finally manage to make it to Beijing!

[@Nicofilms]

Yeah it's a really cool place! Please tell me you have actually been to Beijing before though? Lee and Oli told me they hadn't last night and I couldn't believe it!

[@AlexAbsolute]

@@Nicofilms Shamefully no, even worse neither has my wife! And shes a Chinese citizen. It's on my list though, along with Yunan Guilin and Chongqing.

[@topspark9155]

@@AlexAbsolute , don't bother hongkong even though you have never been before ,its not a dump yet but its full of BNO the chinese looking people who regard themselves British not Chinese ? how blizzard

[@jayoesucksxiballs9591]

Yeah cool art

[@Nicofilms]

@@AlexAbsolute I'm shocked! haha Beijing is awesome! But then so is Yunnan and Guangxi. I haven't been to Chongqing yet either but it's on the list.

[@andong7748]

Good to know such a lovely place in Beijing. Will visit definitely next time.

[@Nicofilms]

Yeah I love it, there is always something new to find.

[@InesTessa]

Lovely new video Nico! I love 798 because no matter how many times you have been, you either discover a new spot or it has already changed again within a few weeks! Props to the camera/editing man for the cool transitions :)

[@Nicofilms]

Yeah I totally agree, you can find something new every time you go! Thanks I will let him know!

[@Kensoy83]

Lived here for a few months, loved it!

[@yourenodaisy2391]

Love history, there is a story behind everything.

[@Nicofilms]

There always is! Love it!

[@LetticeTravels]

Nice video Nico! I've been to 798 a few times. I'd go more if it were closer to where I live. I never knew about the train tracks!

[@Nicofilms]

Yeah it's a bit out of the way, not too bad for us as we are over that side. I do love it, there is always something new to find!

[@paulabiagtan9229]

During the summer of 2019, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Beijing. I remember walking around the 798 Art District and I enjoyed my time there. I hope to go back one day!

[@pame_molina2]

such a good art and good restorans

[@martincyy]

Cool place. Most foreigners only think about forbidden city or great wall when they visit Beijing. This 798 Art District looks worth visiting as well.

[@Nicofilms]

Yeah exactly! I mean those places are amazing but this is a very different area to explore.

Nico, this is amazing! Loved the video! I wish you do more of Beijing neighbourhoods, districts and places exploring. Travel videos around China are nice, but just to dive deep in one place is pretty unique, I don't know any other KZbin channel who would do a lot videos on Beijing (def. not as good as you) 🔥 💕

[@brainwashington1332]

"I don't know any other KZbin channel who would do a lot videos on Beijing (def. not as good as you) 🔥 💕" ugh... how do u know if someone isn't doing better Beijing videos if this is the only channel that does it that u know of?

[@Nicofilms]

Thanks! Actually this is something we have planned to do more as we can't travel as much as we would like too at the moment so thought we could share more of Beijing.

[@geshi7121]

It's a good place to go on the weekends. I love the amazing walls as well.

[@Nicofilms]

It really is! Lots of fun!

[@m.l.8258]

Been there many times. Many beautiful memories. Thanks for sharing.

[@hermesliteratus882]

798 factory is definitely one of my favs to visit when I lived in Beijing. The video and audio editing is professional and superb, kudos to you.

I find it is much more fun to watch some KZbinr’s videos than the documentary made by the big TV stations.

Thanks nico for letting me know this place. It is amazing. I will visit it next time.

[@Nicofilms]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stevenho4693]

Excellent filming and photography! I hit the subscribe button without any hesitation. Since you like 798, another site worth exploring is Shougang Park in western Beijing city. It’s a huge decommissioned steel plant but now it’s turning into a winter sports complex with the “Big Air” and an ice hockey stadium, prepared for 2022 Winter Olympics. Almost all of the industrial facilities are preserved well.

[@Nicofilms]

Ohhhh thank you for the recommendation I will take a look! Yes I love this place so that sounds awesome. Welcome to my channel thanks for subscribing.

[@fredm5245]

I always include 798 on my trips back over many years now. Plus I usually stay nearby at Dashanzi area. Got lots of photos from my very first visit there....

[@Nicofilms]

I love this area so much!

What a cool neighborhood!! Love it :)

Yeah it's awesome!

[@gennval]

very nice video Nico, seems very europe in that area, reminds me of an architecture lesson I had years ago, they showed us photos of various cities in the world and you couldn't say in what part of the world it was taken .. the video gave me that impression ... where are you really!

[@Nicofilms]

hahaah yeah definitely I think that's why I like it so much as it's so different from everywhere else in Beijing. Very inspired from Eastern Europe.

[@rogerwprice]

Looks fabulous - hope to head up to Beijing some time when we are able to get out of HK without Quarantine!

[@Nicofilms]

Awesome! Hopefully soon!

[@jayoesucksxiballs9591]

Yes this channel is great!

Thank you very much!

[@lazybones5390]

I went there last year, flew from Wuhan in the morning, arrived at the AirPort around 10am, took an airport bus there, about 30mins. spent the whole day there, and took another flight back to Wuhan around 8pm. that was my day trip, worth it.

[@Nicofilms]

hahaha wow what a day trip!

[@kristinahalsall9104]

I would never of thought something like this would exist in Beijing! Now I want to explore there even more! Great video Nico, thank you 😊

[@tunissaadia8064]

This existed for decades but evolved in time.

[@Nicofilms]

Yeah there are quite a few in different cities someone just told me about one in Chengdu as well. There is also an amazing place in Shenzhen!

[@danluo]

Real amazing video! As a Chinese living in Beijing for more than 20 years, I'd admit that you had visited more attractions than I. 798 is a nice place to come back constantly, but the last time I went there was about ten years ago.

[@Nicofilms]

haha I bet it has changed a lot since then as well, you should go back! Sometimes we have to leave our home to realise it's beauty. I realised I have not travelled much of my own country now that I have left I have a new appreciation for it.

[@davienotellin4313]

Have you been to Huashan Mountains 華山 east of Xi'an? If you can make it there while you are still young, it will be an "out of body" experience!

Hey Nico I like this vid. I used to be a college student in one of those universities of Beijing back in 2005, unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to visit that place.

5:56 The consonant C in pinyin sounds /ts/ rather than /k/. You're kindly suggested to take a crash course on pinyin. Believe me it's not difficult for English speakers if you forget about the tones.

Hi. mind if I ask what's the name of the pizza place at 05:15 and what's the name of the seating area in the end of the video. Thanks!

The pizza place is 'At Cafe' it's very good. Where we were sat was just near the industrial area where you can walk on the platforms. There is a supermarket on the ground and you can buy drinks and sit on the seats which is awesome.

798 district is also one of my favorite places in Beijing to hang out with friends, especially I have a friend who works in art industry. We even got parties sometimes since this friend’s friend own an gallery there. Oh so many nice memories! Really miss those days.🥰🥰 A little hint about C in Chinese, it is usually pronounced as [ts], like 草场地 Cao Chang Di would be Tsao Chang Di, not Kao. 😬😬🥂

[@Nicofilms]

Oh that would be so cool! I wish I knew more people in the art industry here as I used to be a designer so find it very interesting. Thanks! My Chinese is so bad I really need to get better 🙈
