Over 300 competitors from 28 teams raced dragon boats on the Yudai River in Beitun, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Following intense training, both men's 12-person boats and women's 6-person slim boats displayed impressive skill and coordination. The women's teams, with 13 entries, became a highlight of the event. Beitun, known as the "City of 100 Lakes," has hosted this race for five consecutive years, along with a winter ice version, to enrich local cultural life and foster community unity.
