Besides China, which countries celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?

North Korea-There is a habit of using EPP during the Dragon Boat Festival. The difference is that China hangs mugwort leaves, inserts calamus, or drinks realgar and calamus wine; North Korea, on the other hand, eats Ai cakes and takes a bath. Instead of offering sacrifices to Qu Yuan, they offered mugwort cakes and pine nut cakes to their ancestors. They are not racing dragon boats, but wrestling and swinging.

Japanese-it's similar to our custom in China: inserting wormwood and eating zongzi. There will also be activities similar to dragon boat races along the coast, called "games" and "dragon climbing". Families with boys will also hang carp flags, expecting their sons to "carp jump the dragon gate".

According to the traditional custom, on the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat "dwarf cakes" and drink barley juice.
