VARIOUS OF PEOPLE TAKING PART IN DRAGON BOAT RACE / COLORFUL AND DECORATED BOATS MOVING THROUGH CANAL / PEOPLE BEATING DRUMS AND ENJOYING FESTIVAL ATMOSPHEREFOSHAN, CHINA - JUNE 1: A wild and unique folk ritual was captured on video on Sunday, June 1, during the Loong Boat Festival in Foshan, a small town in China’s Guangdong Province, where local participants jumped between boats and splashed water in a chaotic celebration. The Loong Boat Festival, one of China’s most important traditional holidays, is marked across the country with dragon boat races, cruises, and various cultural activities. But in this southern town, residents took part in a lesser-known custom that reflects the region’s distinctive cultural identity. Unlike the more formal dragon boat races held in larger cities, this event was filled with spontaneity and excitement. Participants climbed onto moving boats, danced, and hurled water at one another — creating a festival scene both wild and joyful. The rare ritual, documented on site, highlights how different parts of China celebrate shared traditions in their own way.
