Local people compete in a dragon boat race in Nanchang City, central China's Jiangxi Province, June 19, as the traditional Chinese Dragon Boat Festival which falls on June 23 this year draws near. The wooden boats are mostly made in the shape of dragons and decorated with colorful paintings. Dragon boat racing is mainly popular in areas south of the Yangtze River and has been a festive spectator sport of many Chinese emperors since the Tang Dynasty (618-907) (XINHUA)
