One of the most popular traditional Chinese cultural events, the Dragon Boat Festival is a 3-day public holiday in China. So, what happens during this festival? Well, the two key activities are boat races and the eating of rice dumplings. In honour of the Dragon god, rice dumplings are also tossed into rivers across the country. The festival&#8217;s origins can be traced back thousands of years. In Chinese tradition, the fifth month and fifth day are considered unlucky. Therefore, hosting <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dragon_boat\">Dragon Boat<\/a> races and partaking in rituals is thought to avoid this bad luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, if you visit China during this holiday you&#8217;ll be treated to an unforgettable display of traditional culture! Chinese dragon boats are a truly impressive sight. Measuring up to 12 metres in length and holding up to 60 rowers, the most famous races can be found in Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sumidagawa_Fireworks_Festival_%E2%80%93_Japan\"><\/span>Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/asia\/far-east\/japan\"> Japan<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sumidagawa-Fireworks-Festival-Summer-festivals.png\" alt=\"Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival - Summer festivals\" class=\"wp-image-6112\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Held on the last Saturday of July, this fireworks extravaganza is one of the most spectacular summer festivals in the world!
