The Dragon Boat Festival is also known as Double Fifth Festival, because it is on the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar calendar. It is also one of the most important festivals in Chinese culture. Apart from the dragon boat racing and having sticky rice dumplings, people carry scented sachets and hang moxa on front door to protect themselves from evil and diseases.
 
The Dragon Boat Festival is a fun and lively holiday. In Taiwan, the weather is typically pleasant, encouraging people to gather outdoors along riversides. It is a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the beautiful weather and watch the exhilarating dragon boat races.
