    I admit I was here more for the pictures than the facts.

    Great post. We are getting ready to have our big boat show. With many of the boats you love. Plus, you get to try them out yourself, in our sea-trials. April 21-22.

    I've heard of dragon boat festivals from my sister who goes to one in her area every year. I would love to attend one day. Beautifully and educationally done!

    The dragon boat festival sounds like a lot of fun though I have never been to one.
    Now there is something to look forward to.

    Love the photos. There is a dragon boat festival in my area every year, but I've never made it. Hopefully this time.

    Interesting lens, I'd completely forgotten we used to have some dragon boat racing locally, I'll have to check them out. not quite as exotic as the ones in your lens though.

    Holy mackerel but that is an amazing looking boat -- and some kind of festival. Wow! Well, my dear although our paths might not have crossed too many times in the past few months, I want you to know that I have thought about YOU often. I wish that you have a remarkable journey this year. Happy new year my dear and hugeroonies!

    In honor of this festival that coincides with the end of my sister in law's teaching contract in China, I am adding this lens into my "featured" lenses on my 365 Holidays lens!

    We have been in China for 2 weeks now and are hoping to spend the holiday in Shanghai and maybe see some real dragon boat races! Thanks for the lens to help us get our background info. We bought some ready made Zongzi at the local grocery store here in China, but I'm not sure if they're all cooked and ready to warm up and eat or not?

    Thank you so much! I had an error in the coding which I've fixed. The link now works.

    I tried clicking on the zongzi pyramid template link, but the template didn't appear. Has anyone else tried this?

    Just when I was about to ask, "What is sticky rice zong zi?" you anticipated my question and provided the answer!

    We have a Dragon Boat Festival here in Ottawa. I had absolutely NO idea that it is an official holiday in China. Thank you for educating me on this deliciously colorful lens!

    I'd never heard of dragon boats before. This would be a fun festival to see :)

    This is a very interesting day to celebrate. I have always followed chinese astrology. I am year of the dog, so I am familiar with the chinese calendar.

    Great lens and glad to learn about Dragon Boat Festival. I found it fascinating!

    I knew of Qu Yuan but never know the part of the story regarding the dragon. That's interesting.

    Although not a public holiday, dragon boat races are held in many parts of Asia to mark the festival.

    Great lens.
  • LilliputStation Apr 2, 2008 @ 9:25 pm | delete
    Another great lens. I had no idea there even was such a holiday. Facinating, as ususal.

    And now I've got to figure out all the new tricks you used in making this lens! Work, work, work! You sure do know how to keep me busy. ;O)
