Xinyi Guild Hall

Xinyi Guild Hall

Xinyi Guild Hall was originally an old warehouse that has now been transformed into an arts district, featuring photography studios, companies, and an environment perfect for taking artistic photos.

The Xinyi International Guild Hall was originally the land and factory buildings of the Guangdong Water Resources and Hydropower Plant. It has now been redeveloped by several real estate developers with architectural training into a space for culture, commerce, and exhibitions. The overall design retains the basic structure of the factory buildings but renovates the windows, doors, walls, and many details in a modern style. The guild hall consists of several large factory buildings of varying sizes, with the building exteriors almost entirely preserved. However, the walls have been painted in a germanium-red color, which looks particularly vibrant under the afternoon sunlight.

The indoor flooring is deliberately made of uneven cement plaster, with randomly laid scattered bluestone. Old sleepers are used to pave the courtyard floor or serve as baseboards; weathered and damp exterior walls have been stripped away and replaced with cement, blue bricks, or red bricks; the blue bricks salvaged from demolished old houses have been repurposed to pave the ground and parts of the pathways. Meanwhile, various slogans that were once painted on the factory walls, along with all 83 ancient banyan trees throughout the area, remain untouched.
