Located in Huangpu District, the Temple of the South Sea God, also known as Boluo Temple, was built in 594 during the Sui Dynasty, with a history of over 1,400 years. It is the only well-preserved and largest ancient sea-god temple in China, a key site of the Maritime Silk Road.

For centuries, it was a royal shrine for worshipping Zhu Rong, the South Sea God, and a sacred place for merchants to pray for safe voyages. The complex features grand Lingnan architecture, the iconic "Calm Seas" stone archway, and an ancient forest of stone steles known as the "Southern Stele Forest".

The annual Boluo Dan Temple Fair, a national intangible cultural heritage, keeps its traditions alive. A timeless witness to China's maritime trade and cultural exchange, it embodies Guangzhou's enduring connection with the sea.
