As the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanwu Festival, approaches, Foshan City in south China's Guangdong Province comes alive with vibrant and thrilling dragon boat activities. In the days leading up to the competitive dragon boat races, the waters of Foshan have already witnessed the visually captivating dragon boat parades.

Unlike the races, which focus on speed and competition, the parades emphasize the beauty and artistry of the dragon boats themselves. Elaborately decorated with flags and traditional ornaments, the boats glide gracefully along the waterways. This mesmerizing display not only celebrates the rich Chinese cultural traditions but also creates a festive atmosphere that enchants both participants and spectators alike.
