HaiGui | Coming soon
Ever felt like dating sites weren't built with you in mind? Haigui is launching first in Sydney — for people looking for depth and shared values that extend beyond the swipe, connecting tradition and wisdom with the realities of dating today.
The problem
Two things are working against you on conventional dating apps.
First, they're built on Western dating conventions — optimized for a culture and set of norms that were never designed with your values, your family expectations, or your idea of compatibility in mind.
Second, did you know women are often outnumbered by men 2:1 on mainstream dating apps? That imbalance shapes everything — the quality of matches, the effort required, the noise you have to wade through just to find someone worth talking to.
Haigui starts from a different signal. BaZi (八字) has been used across Chinese cultures for centuries to read compatibility — not as a gimmick, but as a structured way of understanding someone's temperament and values before you've exchanged a single message. We pair that with your stated preferences to surface people you're actually compatible with, not just available.
Who it's for
How it works
We match using BaZi (八字) — reading compatibility from your birth details — alongside your values, not just a photo.
Connection starts with a small, mutual gesture — not a cold opener from a stranger. Profiles reveal themselves as interest is mutual.
Designed from the ground up for Sydney's urban Chinese community — not something generic with a translated interface. Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan follow close behind.
We're building this with real feedback from our community first — early access goes to the people helping shape it.
The name
The two are exact homophones — which is why returnees are affectionately nicknamed "sea turtles." Haigui here represents a return to the values and culture that mean something to you, no matter where you live.

Enter your birth details for a taste of what BaZi reveals about you — then unlock your reading.
We're validating this directly with people in our network before opening it up more broadly. Leave your email and we'll bring you in as it takes shape.
