Workers in a food processing factory work to produce locally distinctive flavored zongzi, a glutinous rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, on May 21, 2025 in Zigui, Central China's Hubei Province. Duanwu, or the Dragon Boat Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the traditional Chinese calendar, which falls on May 31 in 2025, to commemorate ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan from the Warring States Period (475BC-221BC). It has now become a national holiday during which people enjoy eating zongzi and watching dragon boat races.  Photo: VCG
