In Hong Kong, an ancient Chinese festival has become one of the world’s greatest parties – the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Carnival. And this year, boats, beers and cheers will once again draw hundreds of thousands of revellers and spectators to stunning Victoria Harbour. Thousands of the world’s top dragon boat athletes will be in Hong Kong for the CCB (Asia) Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races – three days of intense racing that will fill the city’s iconic harbour with heart-stopping action, a profusion of colour and the sounds of drummers and fans urging paddlers on to the finish line. There’ll be fun on dry land too with athletes and spectators winding down at the San Miguel BeerFest, where you can enjoy non-stop music, live entertainment and, of course, ice-cold beer. At the same time, roving performers will keep the harbour-side crowds entertained. Taking an ancient Chinese tradition and transforming it into a modern sport and international party has Asia’s world city written all over it. Experience it for yourself at the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Carnival! Source: discoverhongkong/eng/see-do/events-festivals/highlight-events/dragon-boat-carnival.jsp?WT.mc_id=101880#ixzz2WpYAeIw3
