Zigui could be one of the best places to explore the charm of the Dragon Boat Festival. The county in central Hubei province used to be the hometown of ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC).
Since people have long celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu, Zigui has many folk customs and history related to Qu and the festival.
In the eyes of many locals, the festival has more significance than Chinese New Year.
