First, hear the story of a building.
Then decide which street to follow.

Xiaoxiong moves like a traveller: walking, discovering and recording. Every three kilometres, we choose a century-old building with a story, helping you understand the ground beneath you before entering the streets and restaurants that still bring it to life.

What truly moves us in a city is often found near the place where its story happened.

TODAY'S ANCHOR / LISBON

Above the walls,
Lisbon has guarded itself
for a thousand years.

This is not a castle frozen in time, but an urban manuscript rewritten by power, disaster and restoration.
