Xian Artist Area

By the south gate of the city is a redeveloped area which now houses artist studios and jade shops. The buildings are all grey. The same as the redeveloped Hu Tongs in Beijing. Looks smart but feels sterile. Perhaps time is needed to humanise the streets.


Court yards house the artists studios,



Almost entirely traditional Chinese art with very little oil painting.
