Art and Culture | On May 27, a dragon boat launching ceremony was held at the #Nansha Wetland Scenic Area in Guangzhou. The festive atmosphere of the #Dragon Boat Festival has arrived ahead of schedule, and the on-site sight is full of ceremony! Dragon boat launching is a traditional folk ceremony held in the #Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area before the Dragon Boat Festival race. On site, 22 representatives from various dragon boat teams jointly lifted the dragon boat to the dock, carefully cleaned it, connected the dragon head and tail, and the contestants sprinkled lemongrass “holy water” on the dragon boat to pray for blessings. Then, they made the finishing touch, beat drums and gongs, and returned to the dragon boat three times before launching it into the water. After the dragon boat launching ceremony, an #intangible cultural heritage experience activity was also organized on site, and a group of lucky citizens and tourists took the lead in visiting. #artandculture
