choose one at last

An event to celebrate the birthday of God of  South Sea, also named "Nanhai Shen" , Boluo Dan is one of Guangzhou's most important customs with long history, also the biggest traditional temple fair around Guangzhou and Pearl River Delta.

The festival lasts for three days between the 11th to 13th day of the second month on lunar calendar, with millions of locals gathering for the spree.

History has it that long time ago many people around Pearl River Delta made their living on fishing, hence came their gratitude and awe towards the God of Sea. In order to appease Nanhai Shen and to get the blessings from him, local people sacrificed fowls and performed a series of rituals and prayers on the birthday of the god.

As the time goes by, the festival now turns into an extravaganza of thanksgiving, sightseeing, and shopping.
