Dragon boat racing attracts thousands of spectators
2010-06-17

Huangpu (Zhongshan) Dragon Boat Racing 2010 was held in Huangpu Town yesterday. 9 dragon boats participated in the contest, attracting nearly 100 thousand of spectators.

Huangpu’s dragon boat is characterized by its large size. It is as long as 27 meters and can hold over 50 athletes. Dragon boat racing is a competitive sport that reflects close interpersonal relationship and harmony.

It has been a long time since Huangpu Town’s dragon boat became popular in Ming Dynasty. A dragon boat named Awe of Water has won the first prize in the dragon racing for a succession of 3 years. As an intangible cultural heritage, the custom of dragon boat racing has been preserved and carried forward.
