Dragon Boat Festival
The fierce-looking dragon boats racing in a boisterous, colorful spectacle are the festival's principal attractions. It is traditionally held on the fifth lunar month's fifth day. You may observe different teams racing to the beat of the drums if you go to Victoria Harbor. The dragon heads and tails are ornately carved and painted on the special boats, which measure over 10 meters (32.8 ft).
At any given time, each boat can carry up to 23 paddlers. The paddler's row with all their might to the finish line, accompanied by a raucous crowd and the pounding drums. It's fascinating to witness both the drummer in front and the steersman in the back working together as a team to get to the finish line.
