Dragon Boat Racing is a traditional water sport that originated in ancient China. It involves teams of paddlers racing in long, narrow boats decorated to resemble dragons. Each boat typically holds 20 paddlers, a drummer to keep the rhythm, and a steerer who guides the boat. Races are often held on rivers or lakes and can vary in distance. The sport promotes teamwork, strength, and endurance, making it popular worldwide. Dragon Boat Festivals celebrate this racing tradition, featuring colorful boats and lively cultural performances. Today, many communities participate in local and international competitions, fostering camaraderie and cultural exchange.
