Dragon Boat Racing is one of the most distinctive and representative celebrations during the Dragon Boat Festival. Dating back 2,000 years, the custom originated from traditional water rituals and festivals in southern China. It has become an international sport with crew members paddling together at a drumming pace on dragon boats, which are generally decorated with Chinese dragon heads and tails.
