　　Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional and important celebration in China， which has been celebrated for over 2300 years.

　　The Dragon Boat Festival date is based on the lunar calendar, therefore the date varies from year to year on the Gregorian calendar.

　　Some of the most traditional customs include dragon boat racing, eating sticky rice dumplings, hanging Chinese mugwort and calumus, drinking realgar wine, and wearing perfume pouches.

　　Dragon boat racing is the most important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said to originate from the legend of people paddling out on boats to seek the body of patriotic poet Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in a river 2300 years ago.

　　Zongzi is made of glutinous rice filled with meats, beans, and other fillings. It is wrapped in triangle or rectangle shapes in bamboo or reed leaves, and tied with soaked stalks or colorful silky cords.

　　During Dragon Boat Festival, perfume pouches are hung around kids' necks or tied to the front of a garment as an ornament. The perfume pouches are said to protect them from evil.

　　Many Chinese people will make use of the 3-day holiday to go traveling. Therefore, during the Festival, most attractions will be crowded, cheap public transport (like buses and trains) may be sold out, and accommodation may be slightly more expensive.
