The dragon boat festival is also called Chinese Poet Day, in remembrance of a patriot named 屈原.

Hello, pleased to meet you as a new friend:

Your English is very good, but we would probably combine the first three sentences into one and then phrase what you have said, as follows:

'The dragon boat festival is a traditional holiday in China, where people have three days holiday. We are free to return home and go for an outing. During the holiday period, we will see dragon boat races and eat Zongzi. Do you like "The dragon boat festival"?'

I have been to China eight times but so far have not been lucky enough to go during the dragon boat festival holiday. I believe this year the holiday spans the period Monday 10th - Wednesday 12th June. I am very interested in these Chinese traditions.

I will send a request via skype to add you as a friend. I also have wechat.

PS: when I was on holiday in Hainan, I was lucky enough to see a dinosaur footprint in a museum in Sanya and have a picture.
