Attention to all Inbound Exchange Students!
What is Dragon Boat Festival?
This year Dragon Boat Festival falls on 10 June (lunar calendar 5 May). Dragon Boat Festival is also called “Tuen Ng” in Cantonese and “Duanwu” in Mandarin. The festival is celebrated to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan, a famous Chinese poet, and minister known for his patriotism and contributions to classical poetry.
