As drums thunder and dragon boats race across the water, the Jiujiang River in Foshan Nanhai's Jiujiang Town comes alive with the excitement of a grand tradition. As China's first "Famous Dragon Boat Town," Jiujiang proudly carries a deep dragon boat heritage.

"It's much more than I anticipated, because everywhere you go, they have very important aspects of culture. Here, it's like every single resident of this town comes together to build a special day, " said Billy, who is from the UK.

On October 1, the new dragon boat "Xingyuan Yitiaolong" was launched, marking the debut of the "Dragon Boat People" International Dragon Boat Team.

Kristina from Albania told the South that it has been absolutely amazing, "And I'm really thankful to experience such a traditional and beautiful event. I would love to experience it again in the future."

Dragon boat culture is a vital part of China's rich traditions, and Jiujiang's practices showcase folk rituals that enhance the charm of Chinese heritage.

Visit Jiujiang, watch the dragon boat races, savor local delicacies, and immerse yourself in traditional Chinese culture!
