The Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four major traditional festivals in China.

Dragon boat racing and eating zongzi are the most representative festival activities of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Dragon Boat racing brings summer excitement，the teams powered across the water to the beat of drums, while cheering crowds turned the riverfront into a festival of energy and color.

More than a festival dish, zongzi is a seasonal staple that has long marked the arrival of summer.

People use bamboo leaves, glutinous rice is wrapped, tied and steamed — forming zongzi.The glutinous rice becomes dense yet soft after steaming, with a sticky elasticity that holds its shape while remaining deliciously soft.

The cultural connotations and festival customs of the Dragon Boat Festival embody the rich cultural sentiments and profound national sentiments within people's hearts. These poetic expressions carry people's yearning and blessings for a better life.
