Waterborne poetry festival highlights National Day holiday in Tongren

During this year's National Day holiday in China – which coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival – a poetry festival took place on the waters of Sanjiang Park in Tongren City, southwest China's Guizhou Province.

For the festival, two traditional Chinese-style painted boats were transformed into floating performance stages on the river. These stages provided a delightful contrast to the moving scenes of the "Fire Dragon Parade on the River" and "Bamboo Raft Procession." 

The event featured a rich variety of performances, from poetry recitals and instrumental music shows, to vocal performances, dances, and situational plays. The event presented an immersive cultural experience, combining patriotism with local cultural characteristics for the audience. This allowed visitors to experience the charm of Chinese culture as they moved through different scenic spots and enjoyed the ever-changing views.
