Dragon Boat Festival
2007-10-18
Have you heard of the Dragon Boat Festival in Taiwan? The dragon boat races, the yummy rice dumplings, standing eggs on their ends, wearing fragrant sachets—no? Well, it’s time you learned about this very fun special annual occasion in Taiwan. It commemorates a legendary patriotic poet (whom the people loved) who lost his position with the emperor and was exiled from the island because of dirty tricks played by his rival. And that’s just the beginning… you must watch the video to get the rest of the story, and to see the colorful long dragon boats, with 17 to 25 rowers on board, racing along the river.
