"Zongzi", also known as glutinous rice dumpling, in front of a department
store in Beijing on June 18, 2007, a day before the traditional
Dragon Boat Festival. Chinese people traditionally serve rice dumplings on
that day. Labelled as "No. 1 Zongzi in Beijing", the rice
dumpling is made of 150 kilograms of glutenous rice and 25
kilograms of Chinese dates, wrapped with several hundred reed leaves. It
will be auctioned off on June 21, at a base price of one yuan.
