Riding the wind and the waves, fighting the water. On the occasion of the Dragon Boat Festival, the “Dragon Soaring Tiger Leaping” 2022 cross-strait dragon boat race was held in Xiamen, Fujian from June 2 to 3.
Dragon Boat Races on the Dragon Boat Festival have a long history and profound cultural connotations. In this event, more than 1,000 players from 41 participating teams from both sides of the Taiwan Strait hit the water and marched forward, including 24 teams from mainland China and 17 teams from Taiwan compatriots. The competition is divided into the 300-meter straight race and the Chinese Dragon Boat Tug-of-War Open. The opening ceremony and the traditional “finishing ceremony” of the dragon boat competition were held on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival on June 3. The final and the award ceremony were also held on the same day.
This cross-strait dragon boat race is also supported by a number of cultural activities, including the 2022 cross-strait youth dragon boat model competition, dragon boat battles, and the 18th cross-strait Dragon Boat Festival Cultural Forum.
It is reported that in 2006, Xiamen Jimei held the first cross-strait dragon boat race, which was upgraded to a national-level event in 2008. After years of holding, the cross-strait dragon boat race has become an important platform to promote cross-strait exchanges and inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
