ON June 22-24, local and international teams will descend on the buzzing city of Hong Kong for the annual Hong Kong Dragon Boat Carnival, which is also known as the Tuen Ng Festival.
The carnival dates back 2,000 years and commemorates the death of Qu Yuan, a Chinese national hero.
The highlight event takes place on Victoria Harbour where fierce-looking dragon boats compete in a lively colourful spectacle. Teams of 12-28 paddlers race the elaborately decorated dragon boats, to the beat of heavy drums and encouragement of spectators.
