20 dragon boat teams gathered in the Bihaiwan section of Suijiang River, and a hot water "hurricane" is about to begin!

As the starting gun sounded, the dragon boats were like arrows from a string.

Riding the wind and waves, unstoppable. The atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited.

Speed, passion, enthusiasm, unity

The paddlers bent down with all their strength in the high-pitched call,

The oars in their hands flew quickly, stirring up layers of water,

The participating dragon boats broke through the waves on the lake, competing with each other,

Staging exciting scenes, making people's blood boil.

Each of them deserves our praise.

This year, the 2024 Sihui Dragon Boat Race has added a new team from Licheng Town, Putian City, Fujian Province [Huixia Dragon Boat Team]. We hope to continue to add dragon boat teams from Nanyang, Henan, Pingzhou, Jieyang, Yunnan Ruili city, and foreign jewelry companies next year. I hope more and more teams will come to Sihui (the hometown of jade) to participate in the competition.

On the afternoon of June 10, 2024, a Heting (three-person boat) competition was also held in Shigou Town, Sihui City, China.

Except for Oxford University, Cambridge University, Harvard University, and Yale University, all the teams that should come came.
