Forget everything you know about dragon boat racing! In Shunde, dragon boating isn't about chasing the fastest time – it's all about community, connection and good vibes.

Good-luck gifts, traditional dragon boat cookies and massive water fights on the river – this festival is a beautiful celebration of togetherness. And it's also a reminder that sometimes the best traditions are the ones that simply bring people closer.

Join CGTN host Jack Klumpp as he jumps into a water battle and experiences a completely different and heartwarming side of Dragon Boat Festival.
