In Southwest China's Guizhou Province, thousands of young men carry the world's longest dragon boat, measuring 98.8 meters long, and row it down the river in a spectacular and awe-inspiring atmosphere.

Across various regions of China, the traditional Dragon Boat Festival is being celebrated, with the dragon boat race being one of the most significant events. The colossal dragon boat cruised on the water, while tens of thousands of spectators on the riverbank harmoniously sang local folk songs. 

Young people dressed in traditional folk costumes stood on dragon boats to perform folk songs and dances, attracting bursts of cheers and applause from the audience. 

The riverbanks were teeming with villagers and tourists, reveling in the joyous atmosphere of the festival, as they joined in song and dance, creating an ambiance of festivity and merriment. 

"Guizhou not only offers 'Village BA' for basketball fans but also hosts the awe-inspiring Dragon Boat Festival activities, which make me reluctant to leave this wonderful place," said the man who captured the video at the scene.
