Notes From Xi'an 西安随感

ART DISTRICT (YI4 SHU4 QU1)- an Art District modeled on the previously underground though increasingly popular 798 Gallery/Workshop Area in Beijing. It is known here in Xi’an as the ‘Textile City Art Area’ and it is located in the East of the city, very near to the Ban Po Ancient Village. You take the No. 11 Bus from just outside the South Gate (Nan2 Men2), going into the city not out, the bus will go around the city a little before heading East. At present I am not sure of the Districts name but the Art Area is referred to as 纺织城艺术区 (fang3 zhi1 cheng2 yi4 shu4 qu1) and it is on 纺织城西街(fang zhi cheng xi jie), as you get nearer ask for these-it takes about 45 minutes. See the link and the phone number here for the organization XCOMA (Xi’an Center Of More Art- Tel:o29 8353 5683), which is based in the Art District. As I discover more, more may follow。
