Kai Tak's Li Qiu：Paddles Rise, Drums Roar

Li Qiu, the "Beginning of Autumn," marks a turning point - the time when summer's intense heat meets autumn's cool breath. It's also a time to witness other convergences. Take dragon boat racing, which will feature as a mass-participation event in the forthcoming 15th National Games, as an example. You only need to see the oars striking in rhythm and hear the chants thundering through the air to realize that this sport represents a unique coming together of intense physicality and profound cultural depth - nothing less than the living embodiment of the ancient Chinese maxim 'many hearts, one journey'! From age-old customs to today's celebrations, the dragon boat spirit keeps pushing every paddler forward, together.
