Boluo Dan Temple Fair

The Boluo Dan is a traditional temple fair at the Nanhai (South Sea) God Temple in Guangzhou's Huangpu, held in honor of the South Sea deity — one of Lingnan's oldest folk-belief gatherings.

During the fair, sea-worship rites, processions and folk performances take place, with handmade 'Boluo roosters' and other crafts sold amid bustling crowds.

The Boluo Dan is national-level intangible cultural heritage, reflecting the sea-god worship of Guangzhou as a starting point of the Maritime Silk Road.

You can experience this sea-god festival at the Nanhai God Temple area in Guangzhou's Huangpu during the fair season.
