Dragon Boat Festival celebrated in Foshan in grand style!

During the Dragon Boat Festival in Foshan, scenes of dragon boat races and lively drumming can be seen along the rivers. A series of events such as the dragon raising ceremony, dragon boat drifting, and floating market allow people to be fully immersed in the festivities. Foshan has a long history of dragon boat culture. Here the spirit of striving for excellence, persevering, and working together is passed down from generation to generation. This year, Foshan has integrated dragon boat folk culture with water town culture and food culture through a variety of performances and product exhibitions. These spectacular events were held in the five districts of Foshan, showcasing the charm of dragon boat culture from all angles. #artandculture
