To celebrate the annual Duanwu Festival, the traditional Chinese holiday better known as Dragon Boat Festival, people of the Yao ethnic group held a special banquet up in the air in central China’s Hunan Province last Saturday. /Chinanews Photo

Gathering on a narrow glass bridge stretching over a cliff with a waterfall, the Yao people invited their guests to enjoy savory dishes as well as the surrounding natural beauty. /Chinanews Photo

The feast’s main dish was of course the holiday snack of zongzi, the rice dumplings made of glutinous rice and sweet or savory fillings. /Chinanews Photo

Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which commemorates the legendary ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BC). This year, the holiday falls on June 18. /Chinanews Photo
