Graffiti works win a wider audience

Chinese artists pursue professional careers, looking to collaborate with counterparts in other countries

Graffiti can also be found on walls in the city's old Shuangjing neighborhood, the Wangjing section of Jingmi Road, the 798 Art District and the downtown Gulou area.
