Over two thousand years ago, there was a famous poet called Qu Yuan in China. In memory of him, people created the Dagon Boat Festival. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It is also called the Double Fifth Festival. On that day, we usually eat zongzi, a kind of traditional Chinese food, which is made of rice. It tastes very delicious. To celebrate this festival, we have many activities. The most popular one is dragon boat races. People usually take an active part in them and enjoy themselves a lot during the races.
If you want to know more about it, I’d like to send some photos that I took during the festival last year. I hope they will be helpful.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Xiao Xuan
