Nanhai Temple

The Nanhai Temple, whose history dates back more than 1,400 years, is dedicated to the god Nanhai. It was once a sacred site for people traveling in the South China Sea and served as a starting point for foreign trade for the Silk Road in ancient China.

The temple is considered a symbol of the history of maritime trade and is one of the best preserved temples of the city. It was built during the Sui Dynasty and covers an area of 30,000 square meters.

The temple includes a palace, a main hall and several pavilions. The temple is decorated with decorative columns and stone lions. Inside, you can see various cultural relics such as bells, a bronze drum from the Ming and Han dynasties and, of course, the seal of the god Nanhai.
