About this audio guide
This guide to Huitong Village in Zhuhai starts with a puzzle about the village's age. It follows the Mo, Bao and Ouyang clans, the Mok family's ties to the Hong Kong trading house Butterfield and Swire, and a retreat called the Qixia Nunnery. It also covers the twentieth century, when the lanes fell quiet. Best heard in one of the alleys between the two watchtowers.
