It is one of the most important traditional festivals of China celebrated to memorize Qu Yuan, a patriotist in the Chu State of Warring State Period in ancient China, and on that day, no matter in the coutryside or the city, people will celebrate it enthusiastically. On that day, people will eat Zongzi (dumpling made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo or reed leeves), and hold colorful activities, such as the morning walking in the open air, and the dragon boat match. Especially in the watertowns, it will be very noisy. Any foreign visitors in China should not miss the festival.

I wish I was going to be in Yichang for the Dragon Boat festival, but, alas, I will celebrate Dragon Boat Festival in the Yunnan mountains called ZhaXi. __WINDENERGY__
