Dragon Boat Festival · Across the Waves

Red paddles strike the water together, throwing spray against the hull. Farther away, a dragon boat enters a narrow channel between islands.

Paddles Together

Red paddles enter the water in unison; tiny spectators line the distant bank.

Paddles draw near; the water breaks white.

A small drummer stands by the water beneath the sweeping curve of an immense prow.

A dragon boat follows one of the narrow waterways threading through dark green islands.
