Hidden in the bustling Zhongshan 6th Road, Hui Jixi is a time capsule blending 1300 years of history with modern charm. Once the site of the Ming-Qing Nanhai County Office, this neighborhood flourished as a hub for overseas Chinese in the 1920s, leaving behind a legacy of red-brick mansions and European-style arcades.
Today, it’s a quiet oasis where century-old banyan trees shade retro cafes, street art adorns vintage walls, and locals chat over dim sum. Unlike crowded tourist spots, Hui Jixi retains its authenticity: kids play in courtyards, elders sip tea, and stray cats reign as unofficial mascots. Join us to explore the iconic Da Gong Bao newspaper, discover hidden coffee gems, and wander through alleys where history whispers at every turn.
Whether you’re a history buff or a café hopper, this vlog unveils why Hui Jixi is Guangzhou’s most underrated gem — perfect for a slow, soulful city walk.
