Polo Birth Festival Temple Fair

There is a popular saying in Guangzhou that says “the priority of one’s life is to have a tour in the Polo temple fair; and the second is to find a wife”. So when you’re on vacation at the dazzling city at a hotel in Guangzhou like the prestigious Springdale Serviced Residence Guangzhou, be sure to take a tour the vibrant Polo Birth Festival Temple Fair.

The Polo Birth Festival Temple Fair, held this year from 30th March to 1st April, is a festival that has been celebrated since 1000 years ago and is one of the most interesting traditional festivals of Guangzhou. As the festival originated from folklore about a magical chicken named Polo, the main feature of the Polo Birth Festival Temple Fair is to buy paper chickens for good luck. There are many dances and parades as well such as the millennium-old primitive ritual dance, Zhanjiang Tanwu Dance and the procession where a Gold Polo is carried on a sedan.
