Seven-day Guangfu Temple Fair brings festive cheer to Guangzhou

The 2025 Guangfu Temple Fair – a seven-day celebration held in Guangzhou's Yuexiu District, south China's Guangdong Province – brings together online and in-person festivities. As one of China's two foremost temple fairs alongside Beijing's Ditan Park Temple Fair, this annual event in Guangzhou, which lasts from February 12 to 18 this year, continues to captivate visitors.

This year's fair offers a vibrant mix of cultural performances, traditional crafts and gourmet delights, immersing attendees in the rich traditions of Guangzhou local culture. In the intangible cultural heritage area, technology enhances the experience with a Year of the Snake exhibition, showcasing innovative cultural creations. An online temple fair further expands the festivities into virtual reality, integrating 3D digital renditions of Guangzhou's historical landmarks, artifacts and intangible heritage.

The food zone features over 100 delicacies, creatively presented through comic-style booth designs and storytelling. By seamlessly blending culture with technology, this year's temple fair offers an engaging and interactive experience, bringing tradition to life in fresh and dynamic ways.
