Hongjiang Ancient Commercial Town in Hunan Province came alive on the Dragon Boat Festival with a zongzi-making competition. Hundreds of local residents and visitors gathered to showcase their wrapping skills.

Founded in 1894, the century-old Fuquantang Pharmacy recreates the medicine trade of the Ming and Qing dynasties. During the festival, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners taught visitors how to make scented sachets and herbal bouquets using mugwort, calamus and honeysuckle.

The ancient town also rolled out a host of activities, including role-playing games, costume parades, daytime performances and immersive night tours, breathing new life into the thousand-year-old town.
