One of the coolest places to go in Beijing is the ever-expanding art district. It's a huge complex of art galleries in deco buildings, with a healthy splattering of sculptures in every nook and cranny. If you're into that sort of thing you can easily spend a whole day wandering around admiring the buildings, sculptures and galleries. I think the only thing missing is that it needs to be a bit "grittier" for an art district. It's a little sterile and clean at the moment - perhaps that's a little representative of the contemporary art scene here?
