In Hong Kong, an ancient Chinese festival has become one of the world’s greatest parties – the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Carnival. And every year, boats, beers and cheers draw hundreds of thousands of revellers and spectators to stunning Victoria Harbour. Thousands of the world’s top dragon boat athletes battle it out in the Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races – intense racing that fills the city’s iconic harbour with heart-stopping action, a profusion of colour and the sounds of drummers and fans urging paddlers on to the finish line. There’s fun on dry land too with BeerFest, where athletes and spectators enjoy non-stop music, live entertainment and ice-cold beer. At the same time, roving performers keep the harbour-side crowds entertained. Only Asia’s world city could take an ancient Chinese tradition and transform it into a modern sport and international party. Experience it for yourself at the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Carnival!
