Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Do you know the story of the Dragon Boat Festival? The story of Qu Yuan?

What will you do on the Dragon Boat Festival? If you got to Stanley on Hong Kong Island, or to Shatin in the New Territiories,  you can see teams from all over Hong Kong and the world racing against each other in these boat races.

Each boat has people rowing, and one person to beat a drum. The drummer tells the rowers how fast they should go, a fast beat means row faster, a slow beat means you can slow down…BOOM-DI-BOOM-DI-BOOM…

Could you be a dragon boat racer? What do you eat at the Dragon Boat Festival?

Leave a comment and tell us all about what you will do/what you did at the festival.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival!

I had a very good Dragon Boat Festival, thank you for asking. I ate dumplings and watched the boat race with my friends on TV. It was very interesting to watch. The races in Stanley were very busy. There were people from all over Hong Kong, from many different countries. I hope I can enjoy the festival next year as well.
