June 16 is the fifth day of the fifth month in the Chinese lunar calendar, otherwise know as Duan Wu Jie, or Dragon Boat Festival. With approximately 20 million people out on boats during the festival, we invite you to come and watch the races in Beijing.
There will be races at the Olympic park lake (Ao Lin Pi Ke Shui Shang Gong Yuan) on Monday 14 June in the afternoon. It will be the best place to watch the races.
Or, if you want to really experience the festival, come and join the team on Sunday afternoon, 4.30pm at Hou Hai.
