A new landmark is reshaping Gui'an New Area, the vibrant "170 Block". Here, the roar of motorcycles meets the aroma of freshly ground coffee, while the floral notes of green tea blend unexpectedly with the crisp taste of beer. What sounds like a clash becomes a celebration of creative freedom.

Rows of gleaming Harley-Davidsons and BMWs line the avenue, forming a striking backdrop for the crowd of coffee lovers and bikers. Alongside the engines' rhythm, the air is filled with the fragrance of espresso and tea. Independent local cafes showcase their crafts with inventive blends inspired by Guizhou's local ingredients – each cup a small work of art.

Adding to the buzz, Gui'an New Area Li Xiang Ecological Agriculture Co introduces refreshing new drinks like whipped lemon tea, made with locally grown black and jasmine green teas. Its clean, citrusy flavor has quickly become a hit among visitors.

As night falls, the spotlight shifts to a crowd favorite – green tea beer. Brewed locally by the same company, this creative crossover blends the freshness of tea with the vibrancy of beer, making it the ultimate holiday drink for those seeking something new.

During the National Day holiday, the block kept the energy flowing with a daily lineup of events, from folk fairs and farmers' pop-up stalls to a coffee market and nostalgic childhood games, drawing locals and travelers alike to experience Gui'an's bold mix of traditions and trends.
