Ice dragon boat race, where ancient tradition meets icy innovation. In February, athletes from over 20 countries and regions converged on the frozen grasslands of Inner Mongolia for the Five Continents International Ice Dragon Boat Challenge. This dynamic sport, now an intangible cultural heritage, blends the ceremonial heritage of dragon boats with the thrill of winter competition. Beyond the race for speed, participants from around the world grasped ice paddles in sub-zero temperatures and immersed themselves in Chinese culture, discovering a vibrant, multidimensional China. This is more than a sport- it is a tangible bridge connecting cultures across the globe.
