The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month in the traditional Chinese calendar. With a history dating back over 2,000 years, it's an important Chinese celebration. At the center of the festival are the dragon boat races. Competing teams propel their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villagers' valiant attempts to rescue Qu Yuan from the Miluo River in Hunan. This tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.
