Riding the dragon

Taiwan has been dragon boat racing during the Duanwu Festival for 120 years and this year will be no different

By Gavin Phipps  /  STAFF REPORTER

Along with cheering for favorite teams, as they pit their rowing prowess against the currents, the pollution and the wind, visitors will be treated to performances by local musical acts and theatrical groups.

Dozens of food stalls will be on hand and selling everything from the traditional zongzi (粽子), or glutinous rice dumplings, to hotdogs and assorted sugary delights.
