Dear Readers,
As Asian towns and cities come alive with the excitement of the Dragon Boat Festival today (19 June), we would like to extend our warmest wishes to all our readers celebrating this special occasion.
Also known as the Duanwu or Tuen Ng Festival, the celebration traces its origins back more than 2,000 years and is traditionally associated with the poet and statesman Qu Yuan. Today, it is marked by vibrant dragon boat races, family gatherings, and one of the festival's most beloved traditions, which is, enjoying zongzi, the pyramid-shaped glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves.
In Hong Kong, zongzi comes in many varieties, from savoury versions filled with pork, salted egg yolk, and mushrooms to sweet renditions featuring red bean paste or alkaline rice. Which one is your favourite?
Beyond the races and festive food, the Dragon Boat Festival serves as a reminder of community, resilience, and the importance of preserving cultural traditions across generations.
To all our readers, we wish you a meaningful celebration filled with good food, good company, and moments of joy.
For your convenience, we have put together 10 Dragon Boat Festival greetings that you can share with your friends and family:
