( Nanhai)
Nanhai District (Chinese ???; pinyin Nánhai Qu) is a district of Foshan prefecture-level city, in Guangdong province, southern China. Nanhai was a county-level city until December 8, 2002, when it became a district of Foshan prefecture-level city. The town was established in 1271 by two brothers carrying their fathers bones. They were fleeing south from the Mongols on a bamboo raft when a violent storm shipwrecked them. The brothers settled down there and the position of the wreck is commemorated by a shrine. This area was named Broken Raft Point. name="External_links" id="External_links">
