About this audio guide
This guide to Qi'ao Island in Zhuhai starts on the granite of Baishi Street and goes back to October 1833, when foreign opium ships crowded the sea off the village and its people had to decide how to answer them. It follows the story of who paid for the road underfoot. Walk to the end of the street, where gunner statues stand beside old cannons, and listen there.
