The Xunpu flowery headwear is a traditional headdress in Xunpu Village of Quanzhou City, East China's Fujian Province. During major festivals, women in Xunpu would wear fresh flowers on their hair to express their pursuit of a beautiful life and also serve as a prayer for the safe return of their family members who go out to sea for fishing. The headwear is a signature of "Xunpu Women Customs", which was listed as a national intangible heritage in 2008.
