From Crossing China.

I return to the Chocolate City in Guangzhou China for the first time in a few years to check out what’s changed. I still remember my first visit here in 2012 and being amazed at the diversity of people, languages, foods, clothing and culture. It was like getting off the subway and being in "china town" in other countries, but instead it was "Africa Town" and full of a crazy vibrant energy. So what is Africa Town like now as we head into 2025? Well, it’s not looking good for this once exciting enclave in Southern China.
