Foshan is recognized as China's first "City of Dragon Boat and Lion Dance Sports,"while Shunde is famed as the "Hometown of Dragon Boats." Dragon boat racing has a rich history here, with a cultural tradition that has thrived for centuries. Foshan residents have long held a passion for racing, watching, and celebrating dragon boats, with a 600-year legacy still alive today.
Foshan hosts over 1,000 dragon boat events annually. Dragon boat racing is not only a cherished local tradition but also a key element of Foshan's "Top Ten Traditional Cultures."
This year's F3 Dragon Boat Super League aims to create a prominent national platform for dragon boat events and cultural branding. The competition integrates various dragon boat events across Foshan and selects top teams through a "Five-District Substation + Corporate Group" format, lasting nearly a month.
"The F3 Dragon Boat Super League offers a fresh model of Foshan's dragon boat culture. It embodies the resilience, unity, and competitive spirit of the people of Foshan," said Wen Xi, Deputy Mayor of Foshan.
The event drew large crowds throughout the day, including Paris Olympic champion Chen Qingchen, who attended to show her support. Among the international attendees was Darko from Serbia, who brought his son to watch. "I love the Dragon Boat Festival and the excitement of the races," said Darko, who hopes to join the competition in the future.
Alongside the dragon boat races, the F3 Finals also featured a range of cultural and tourism activities in Shunde, offering locals and visitors a one-stop experience of dining, entertainment, and cultural attractions.
