The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival that is celebrated in Taiwan and other parts of East Asia. The festival commemorates the death of Qu Yuan, a poet who drowned himself in the Miluo River in 278 BC to protest against government corruption.

The festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which falls in June or July in the Gregorian calendar. The festival is a time for people to gather together to race dragon boats, eat zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and enjoy other festivities.

The dragon boat races are the most popular event of the festival. The races are held on rivers and lakes, and each team consists of 20 to 30 paddlers. The boats are decorated with colorful dragons' heads and tails, and the paddlers compete to see who can cross the finish line first.

Eating zongzi: Zongzi are a type of sticky rice dumpling that is filled with pork, mushrooms, and other ingredients all wrapped in bamboo leaves. They are traditionally eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan.
