Meg Kwan /International school teacher from New Zealand It’s my first time watching the dragon boat racing. It was cool. I wanna give it a go next year. It was very interesting to like see all the races and in common have some really good food and good company. Xiao Qian /International school teacher And this kind of dinner is a lot. This kind of meal is very special, like, it's over 200 tables. After the races, crews reunite for dragon boat rice - a Ming Dynasty tradition symbolizing good harvests. Back then, villagers shared food equally, rich or poor, to spread good fortune. . Hsu Ming Hung / GBA Dragon Boat Racer (Taiwanese) Did you know winners get a whole pig?
