Hidden China Street Life: Abandoned Ancient City, Urban Village Alleys & Real Life in 4K HDR

What China is really like — hidden urban villages, abandoned history, neon alleyways, and real street life in 4K HDR.
This is an unfiltered walking tour through a lesser-seen side of Haikou, China, filmed in real time with no narration or music.

This video takes you deep into Xiuying Village, an urban village in Haikou where everyday life, history, and modern city pressure collide.

During this uninterrupted 4K HDR walking tour, you will explore narrow alleyways filled with tangled power lines, dense “handshake buildings,” and neon-lit side streets lined with small shops and massage parlors. Hidden within this living neighborhood lies the abandoned Qiongya Ancient City, a forgotten historical site quietly surrounded by modern urban life.

Along the way, you will also see locals gathering for laoba tea, elderly residents playing cards and socializing in the village center, and the unpolished rhythm of real street life rarely shown in travel videos.

There is no narration and no background music. Everything is recorded as it happens — natural sound, real movement, and authentic daily life, exactly as it is.

This walking tour is part of the Seeing China series, documenting cities, neighborhoods, and everyday environments beyond tourism and headlines.
