If this tower stands there for long, all the zongzi will be smelly and discarded finally. The one who suggests this idea is an idiot. Better distribute those zongzi to the people than use them to build a tower.

I don’t quite agree with you, JB. Ever since these Zongzi are raw and the rice in them is dry, they can be kept for a long time.

GUEST21131	I think Chinese like those words such as biggest, highest, most, etc to draw people's attention. This model was chose into Guinness World Records because of the largest number of zongzi.

It's only an model and not so huge. people can cover if it rains. Maybe the idea is not so good, But I think it featured both Dragon Boat Festival and Yueyang culture.
