Also known as Duanwu Festival, this vibrant celebration is deeply rooted in Chinese history and culture. Observed on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the festival is best known for its exciting dragon boat races and the delicious traditional food, zongzi (sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves).
But the meaning goes far beyond the surface.

A Festival of Legacy and Loyalty
The Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the life and legacy of Qu Yuan, a revered Chinese poet and statesman known for his unwavering patriotism. His story symbolizes loyalty, sacrifice, and the importance of community — values that continue to inspire people across the world.
