Dragon Boat festival is in 5th May every year in Chinese calendar, it been originated for 2500 years and it is no. 3rd of popular festival in Hong Kong. The festival commemorate is hold for the poet and minister Qu Yuan (c.340-278 BC) he suicide by throw to the river in the Chinese Luna date 5th of May.
In China , Macao, Taiwan, Malaysia & Singapore they have different name of this festival but they all have the same is having Dragon boat racing game and rice dumpling.
I remember when I was child my mum use to get ready all the stuff to make the rice dumpling for us and then we'll know it is the DBF day coming.
And now we all grown up, mum is not doing rice dumpling anymore it is instead of my friends they will join the dragon boat racing team every year. Although I am not in HK, but I can though Facebook to look their photos to feel the festival.
What do people do at the festival?
