Dongguan, renowned as the "Hometown of Dragon Boats," hosts China's longest-running dragon boat-themed event. Unlike other regions where races occur only during the Dragon Boat Festival, Dongguan's dragon boat festivities span an entire month! The heart of this tradition is Zhongtang, a significant hub for dragon boats with an impressive history exceeding 500 years.

Today, Zhongtang Town capitalizes on its rich dragon boat heritage by organizing the unique Dragon Boat Cultural Festival and exploring innovative approaches to industrializing the dragon boat sector. This includes producing dragon boats, organizing spectacular races, and creating dragon boat-themed cultural products. By integrating these elements, Zhongtang is fostering a thriving cultural tourism industry that promotes both industrial growth and the preservation of cultural heritage.
