The third is the large number of participants. From 60 to 70 years old, "Sister Lang" and down to kindergartens, "baby babies" are all active participants in "picking up the Loong Boat". Hong Kong and Macao compatriots who have little water and roots in the mainland have also picked up oars. Many overseas Chinese "fly" back home to participate in the competition. The reason why "Village Super", "Village BA", "Su Chao" and others have become popular is that they have brought themselves closer to the public with the concept of "national movement". 'Dragon boat racing' has also awakened the DNA of 'everyone has fun together'. In recent years, with the increasing popularity of dragon boat racing, many new forms of competition have emerged. Novice races can also be played with zero foundation, while parent-child races and community races allow ordinary people to easily experience the passion of water sports.
