On August 24th, the dragon boat event of the 7th Guangdong Traditional Ethnic Minority Sports Games was held on Rujiang River in Ruyuan, Shaoguan, Guangdong. Athletes from Guangzhou, Foshan, Heyuan and Zhuhai teams participated in the competition.
Dragon boat is a water sports competition in this Games.
According to tradition, before the dragon boat race, there will be a "dotting" ceremony, which means "smooth the wind and the water, the head of the dragon follows the tail of the dragon". The custom of dotting the eye is also an important part of the dragon boat culture in the Lingnan area.
