The Nanhai Temple is not only one of the important birthplaces of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, but also a spiritual totem of Lingnan culture. The folk belief and custom "Boluodan" (also known as "Nanhai Shendan"), centered around the Nanhai Temple, has been passed down for thousands of years and was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2011. It has become one of the most influential folk events in the Lingnan region. It is reported that from March 10th to March 14th, 2025 (the 11th to 15th day of the second lunar month), Huangpu District, Guangzhou will hold the "Polo Birthday" Millennium Temple Fair in Nanhai Temple Scenic Area, Guangzhou Maritime Museum and surrounding venues. This temple fair, through three main themes of "intangible cultural heritage exhibition, folk interaction, and cultural tourism integration", gathers nearly a hundred characteristic activities. It not only preserves traditional rituals such as "Four Villages Meeting Scenery, Five Sons King", but also incorporates innovative elements such as interactive check-in devices in the park and art exchanges in the Greater Bay Area. It empowers consumption with culture, drives the economy with tourism, and presents a cultural feast for citizens and tourists. As the soul of temple fairs, traditional rituals carry the profound heritage of millennium temple fairs.
