Thousands of people gathered to celebrate Dragon Boat Festival, and hundreds of dragon boats raced in the port city. On the morning of June 7, the 8th Dragon Boat Race of Qinhuangdao was held in Laojunding Scenic Spot of Haigang District. 28 teams competed fiercely to present a wonderful sports feast for the general public.
With the referee's command, the dragon boats rushed out of the starting point like flying arrows. The players yelled and paddled with the powerful drums for the first place. The dragon boat split the waves, and the river water splashed, leaving ripples behind. On the shore, the audience cheered and excited about the wonderful game.
The competition was sponsored by Qinhuangdao Municipal Sports Bureau, Qinhuangdao Sports Association, and the Haigang District Party Committee and Government. It consists of four groups: town (park) group, street group, district department group, and college group; two categories: 12-people dragon boat and 22-people dragon boat; and two items: 100-meter race and 200-meter race. More than 470 athletes in 28 teams participate in this event.
