Dragon Boat Festival Tour in 2021
 
Description


The dragon boat festival falls on the 25th of the fifth lunar month(it is often in July or late June). Different from Han Chinese Dragon Boat festival, the Miao Dragon festival  focuses on  praying for good luck and getting plenty rain for rice fields and other crops. Before the boat race starts, the local boatmen drive their dragon boats(made of a single timber) to visit their relatives on both sides of Qingshuijiang river. Their relatives already prepare gifts‘( of ducks, geeses, pigs, even a young bull)  and wait for the boatmen‘s arrival. These are not just simple gifts, they also symbolize good lucks.
