Competitions and boat races are the activities that are exuberantly organized and dumplings known as Zongzi shared during this period.

The regatta is the highlight of the festival. Hundreds of beautifully decorated and multi-coloured boats prepare for months before the event. Each boat consists of a dragon head in the front of the boat that is open mouthed, while the rear portrays the scaly tail. Each vessel consists of a drummer in front together with the flag catcher. The entire race is an uproar of drumbeats with the the team that is able to grab the flag first, at the end of the course declared as the winner.

Historically, the festival's origins can be traced to the great Chinese poet, Qu Yuan, whose demise heralded the event. A specialty wine known as realgar is consumed as a popular custom during the race period. While specially embellished silk purses lined with spices are carried to ward malicious forces, as is the custom to display images of Zhong Kui, a mythological figure.
