Dragon Boat Contest is the grandest event on May 5th in Chinese lunar calendar. It is held every 3 year. Participants actively make preparations and practice half a month in advance. The banks of the Lijiang River will be crowded with spectators. In the contest, dragon boats cleave on the river with the deafening sound of dragon boat songs, bells and drums. The winners will gain silver coins and a roasted pig. Participants attach great importance to the final win of the contest. Guilin held the first International Dragon Boat Contest in 1998, which attracted Dragon Boat troupes from Southeast Asian Countries, Hong Kong SAR, Macau, and China's Taiwan.
