What you see more is the dragon boat race held in inland rivers and lakes, but I believe many people have never seen the dragon boat race held on the island. Chuan Dao, Taishan and Jiangmen will hold a grand traditional island dragon boat race this year. Blue sky, white clouds and dragon boats on the sea will coexist, and fishermen on the island will wrestle on the water to interpret the ancient dragon boat culture legend in the Song Dynasty.

Compared with the common dragon boat races, the island dragon boat races are mostly rowing big boats or small boats. Each dragon boat takes about 30 people, plus the drummer and helmsman, and another person splashes water, because the waves will splash into the cabin during the dragon boat race, and one person must splash the water out of the cabin.
Besides, the Xia Chuan Dragon Boat Race is a dragon boat that knows how to turn around. One-way 500 meters, round trip 16 times, the race is 2 days. This is true endurance, skill, flexibility and harmony.
