Visitors view the scupltures on display at the 798 art district, located in the city's eastern Dashanzi neighborhood in Beijing, China, Friday, July 27, 2007. If you tire of Olympic fever and can't stomach sites jammed with flag waving throngs of tourists, don't despair. The 50's-era factory zone has been transformed into a bohemian oasis with dozens of galleries, a smattering of cafes, bookstores, outdoor sculptures, and lots of bemusing graffiti splashed on the old factory walls.
