Guopiao is a street and neighborhood in Beigang. It is an ethnically and economically mixed, diverse area abutting the prosperous outskirts of Uptown and Ganjin Town and the slums of Southern Beigang. It contains some economically important businesses, such as the Dragon Stove Company, and the headquarters of the Beifang family's iron metal business in the Northern Earth Kingdom is nearby. An Angjiao shrine and monastery is located in the neighborhood. Large numbers of semi-assimilated Beituzhu live in the region as well, on the outskirts of a mostly indigenous-populated district to the South.
The Hongtang and Baitang self-defense organizations are both active in the region, and have nearby local halls.
Affiliates of the Baitang in White, affiliates of the Hongtang in Red. Unaffiliated structures with names in black. Cyan dots are public fountains (some structures are additionally connected to the water mains running down Grindstone St. / Luban St. and Old Ganjin Road.)
The street is notable as the site of the Dragon Stove Company, owned by the firebending Damura family, one of the few remaining Huoke (i.e. with Fire National ancestry) families living in the Earth Kingdom. It is also the site of the Soaring-Dust Shrine, a small monastery and public shrine of the Angjiao community (i.e. people who are not ethnic Air Nomads but who practice the Air Nomad Religion.) The Gim Brewing Company, which makes Eastern-Peninsula-Style Millet Beer and its distillates, is in the neighborhood, as is the Ji cutlery market, considered the best place to buy cutlery South of the Royal Dockyards.
