STORYLINE:
STANDUP (English): YU LIZHEN, Xinhua correspondent
"Here in Hong Kong, we're witnessing a centuries-old tradition come alive -- the Tai O Dragon Boat Water Parade. This is a unique sacrificial ceremony that takes place during the Dragon Boat Festival, deeply rooted in Hong Kong's cultural heritage. In 2011, this traditional ritual was inscribed on China's third National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Let's take a look."
Tai O, a village in the deep south of Lantau Island, hosts one of Hong Kong's most special dragon boat events.
During the festival, three fishermen associations paraded statues of deities from local temples on sampans towed by traditional dragon boats, praying for blessings for the community as they pass through the waterways.
After the parade, the three dragon boats held a friendly race.
SOUNDBITE (English): SANJAY, Indian expat
"Today we come here to see the dragon boats because dragon boat is very famous in Hong Kong, China. I'm very, very happy and my kids are so excited to see the dragon boats."
Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Hong Kong, China.
