Yuegang in Zhangzhou was once famous for building the ferries that crossed to Taiwan. Here, craftsmen still make by hand the traditional dragon boats that are steered with oars instead of rudders. Before Dragon Boat Festival, the craftsmen always make zongzi containing a salted egg yolk. According to the elders, the yolk stands for the sun, and the rice, the sea. #Taiwanthroughtheages
