Other preparations are made that are similar to that of the Han people when preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival, like hanging Asiatic Wormwood and drinking realgar wine. /VCG Photo

Nowadays, women who married with men out-of-town will choose this day to come back home with meat and wine to celebrate the festival. So, the Liuyueliu Festival is also a good time for the Dong ethnic group to get together. /VCG Photo
