Residents stop to catch a look at a 2-meter-high "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. [newsphoto]
