How to find the best viewing point?
Although the racing part is quite long, but however the actual period is between the Shamei bridge and the Longxi bridge, so the side
of the river are the best viewing point, however we choose teh beginning and the end of the period because we can enjoy the most
intense competition. We enjoy the vigour in the middle and the best part in the end.
Three more things about the dragon boat:
Chebei's dragon boat races were made up of different family name dragon boat teams from each village, we interviewed with one team
after the race, in usual they will gather together at their temple, also it the place for them to have lunch. Don't underestimate it although
it only hold once a year but they need 2~3 months of training before the race, and the race is last until the dragon boat festival, that
mean there may be 5~6 round of racing per year, and not all of the man on board are young adult, if you are qualified enough the it's beyond ages.

BT the way there's a dragon boat museum and it's definitely a good place to advertise the dragon boat culture to kid and au pair.
Of course we already done that part of job before that day, and they offer an opportunity to make perfume satchel.
All above are the details of our dragon boat festival, it's really exciting and we will see you next year!
