Beihai Xinyi Cup

Hosted in Beihai, the southern Guangxi port that anchored China's ancient Maritime Silk Road trade with Southeast Asia. The tournament gathers a wide international field in a deep single-elimination bracket, and is part of a broader pattern in Chinese Go where second-tier coastal cities use a major world championship to assert their place on the cultural map. Notably the venue for the first world title won by a player born after 2000.
