China: Dragon boat on the Li River with Seven Star Park in the background, Guilin, Guangxi Province
Guilin's Dragon Boat Festival is held on the fifth day of the fifth month (May) of the Chinese lunar calendar every 3 years. The festival was originally held in memory of the great Chinese poet, Quyuan.
The name Guilin means ‘Cassia Woods’ and is named after the osmanthus (cassia) blossoms that bloom throughout the autumn period.
Guilin is the scene of China’s most famous landscapes, inspiring thousands of paintings over many centuries. The ‘finest mountains and rivers under heaven’ are so inspiring that poets, artists and tourists have made this China’s number one natural attraction.
