I can't wait to enjoy the coming three days vacation. This short vacation is about a famous chinese festival which has been celebrating for over 2000 years. We call it the Dragon Boat Festival that features Zongzi and dragon boat races. Zongzi is a sweet food with a leaf wrapper outside and rice, jujube ,sugar filling inside. Nowadays, people have created a variety of fillings for Zongzi. Salty and sweet flavours are very common. During the festival, people in China do many interesting things besides eating Zongzi. Rowing a dragon boat on a river is the most popular activity people like to do. There are many big dragon boat competitions held on that day. People also like to put a special kind of long grass on their door. It menas that the grass can get all the bad luck aways from their family.In fact, as for young people, it's a short vacation for a short trip or just staying at home. The drangons in chinese culture re very different from Western culture. They are kind animals just existed in myths.
