The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday that is celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar calendar. It is a time when people come together to honor the memory of the famous poet Qu Yuan and to ward off evil spirits.

The festival is named after the dragon boat races that take place during this time. These races are a major highlight of the festival and attract participants and spectators from all over the country. The boats are long and narrow, with a dragon's head at the front and a dragon's tail at the back. They are beautifully decorated with vibrant colors and patterns.
