Dragon Boat Festival



This was the first year that mainland China celebrated Dragon Boat Day as an official holiday. It was also the first time they held a dragon boat race. A bunch of us decided to go the dragon boat races to check it out. The park was in the SW corner of Beijing about 1.5 hours away. We got a little lost on the way but finally found the event. We were the only westerners at the event. We stayed for a couple of hours to watch the races and then left for lunch and a relaxing afternoon.
