Driven by the rhythmic beat of the drum, teams of 20 synchronized paddlers, one drummer, and a steersperson race 500 meters up the river in stunning 40-foot canoes adorned with vibrant Chinese dragon heads and tails. This exciting sport brings together social groups and businesses alike, fostering teamwork and camaraderie with every stroke. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-time paddler, there’s fun for everyone — with plenty of time to relax (or amp up the competition!) between races.
