Dashanzi Art District

Yesterday I walked over to Dashanzi Art District with my Mom. It's one of my most favorite places in the world! The district used to be factories, which were eventually abandoned when the operations were moved otherwhere. Now, these very factories have been turned into art galleries. It's unspeakably cool to see a large room filled with odd contraptions meant for producing things like shoes and buttons adorned with post-revolutionary art! To top it off, it's coffee-shop heaven! I'll be spending lots of my time there reading, writing, and geeking out on my computer.
