Carpenter Zhou Chengyun from Yongzhou, Hunan Province has been busy making small wooden dragon boats ahead of the Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on June 22 this year. After ten different processes – including carving, polishing and japanning – a delicate boat is borne from Zhou's hands. His boats are hot sellers as home decorations and are snapped up by customers across China.
