The dragon boat festival is one of the most important days in Taiwan.
People who join the dragon boat competition become more and more popular. Some
foreigners love this activity, especially famous universties from different countries, for example, Oxford Universty.
On the other hand, the majority of families are peparing special food such as
rice tamal.The smell is very good because people are using bamboo leaves to package
the stuffing.The method of making rice bamboo evolved long ago.
There was a patriotic poet who jumped into river and people were looking for him, so
they rowed a boat and now,today, the dragon boat competition represents this searching.At that time people also prevented the poet's body from being bitten by fish by throwing rice balls into the river. Until now,people commemorate the poet so every family cooks rice tamal. Also the smell is very good and can drive out some bad insects.
I recommend that you travel to Taiwan and join the dragon boat competition!!
