The Chinese-Dragon Boat Festival- 端午节 duān wǔ jié is a traditional holiday originated in China.

It occurs on the 5th day of the 5th month on the Chinese lunar calendar (14th June in 2021). It has over 2,000 years of history.

The wooden boats are shaped and decorated in the form of a Chinese dragon. The boat size varies by region. Generally it is about 20–35 meters in length and needs 30–60 people to paddle it. During the races, dragon boat teams paddle harmoniously and hurriedly, accompanied by the sound of beating drums. It is said that the winning team will have good luck and a happy life in the following year.

Sticky rice dumpling- 粽子 zòng zi is the most traditional Dragon Boat Festival food. They are a kind of sticky rice dumpling made of glutinous rice filled with meat, beans, and other fillings. Zongzi is wrapped in triangle or rectangle shapes in bamboo or reed leaves, and tied with soaked stalks or colourful silky cords.

To celebrate "Chinese-Dragon Boat Festival" at Columba College, Year 2-10 students had duānwǔ jié workshop to make “Paper Dragon Boat” and “Paper Sticky Rice Dumpling”.
