It is understood that as a national civilized town and a hometown of Chinese folk culture and art, Shanyang Town is the birthplace of the "Shanghai Bay Area" urban brand and the core area of the coastal area. It has a profound folk cultural heritage and a solid foundation for group cultural activities. Since 2005, Shanyang Town has held 11 dragon boat competitions, which are grand in scale, well-known far and wide, and highly favored by the general public. The Shanyang Dragon Boat Race is not only a major event for the people of Shanyang to increase their physical fitness and create a nationwide fitness atmosphere, but also a true portrayal of the people of Shanyang's desire to think and work together.

This year, in order to further promote the dragon boat culture in Shanyang, establish a comprehensive tourism brand in Shanyang, and attract more citizens to participate, Shanyang Town took advantage of the "Our Festival · Dragon Boat Festival" series of activities in Jinshan District to adjust the dragon boat race venue for the first time from Longquan Port to the waters of Old Hongqi Port in New City Park. It is worth mentioning that previously, the sediment in the riverbed of Laohongqi Port was severely silted up, and the water environment was poor. After rectification and dredging, the old appearance of the river has been changed to a new one, and the two sides have been transformed into ecological waterfront, becoming a good place for citizens to enjoy water recreation in recent years.

"The environment here is good and the scenery is beautiful. There are often white egrets flying, and we all like to walk and stroll by the river. Especially in the past month, my neighbors and I have been standing by the bridge almost every night after dinner to watch the dragon boat team members train, which is very exciting. As the sun sets in the west, everyone is blowing the summer breeze while listening to the sound of gongs and drums, which is very comfortable. I also took photos and posted them on my social media. Everyone envies me, saying that we, the people of Laoshanyang, live a really happy life." Wang Laobo, a resident of Haihao Xinyuan, a nearby resettlement community, smiled and said.

The sound of heavy hammers, gongs and drums, and the dragon boat flying over the water. At 1:30 pm, both sides of Old Hongqi Port were crowded with citizens and photography enthusiasts who came to watch the battle, with constant cheers and cheers on the scene. Accompanied by the strong rhythm of gongs and drums, eight teams from the Jiangsu Zhejiang Shanghai Yangtze River Delta region rode the wind and waves, performing "speed and passion".

Among them, the Shanghai International Friendship Dragon Boat Team is particularly eye-catching. The team members come from multiple countries such as China, Germany, Singapore, and Malaysia, and have achieved excellent results in multiple city level dragon boat races. Team leader Zhang Jiliang said, "Friendship comes first, competition comes second, and we feel the joy and friendship brought by sports during the dragon boat race."

As the host, the Shanyang Town Dragon Boat Team is mostly composed of retired non commissioned officers from the village. They have won multiple gold and silver medals in competitions such as the "Shanghai Citizen Sports League Dragon Boat Finals" and the "Shanghai Employee Dragon Boat Competition".

On the field, everyone rushed forward with the momentum of a dragon emerging from the water, chopping and chopping waves, showcasing their style and achieving excellent results. In the end, the Shanyang Dragon Boat Team won the open group championship with their neat and powerful movements, high coordination and tacit understanding. The Fengwu Chutian Dragon Boat Team and the East China University of Technology Dragon Boat Team won the second and third place in the open group. The Yunyixuan Dragon Boat Team, Jiulongcun Dragon Boat Team, and Xinjiang&Dongfang Dragon Boat Team ranked in the top three of the Volkswagen Group.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to watching dragon boat races, citizens and tourists can also participate in the Dragon Boat Festival folk experience activities up close. In the folk custom exhibition area, several citizens are interested in taking their children to make sachets, wrap Zongzi, draw dragon boats, etc., and immerse themselves in the charm of traditional folk culture. In the intangible cultural heritage exhibition area, a series of "non heritage cultural and creative" products are irresistible, and citizens and tourists can also choose to purchase and bring them home while enjoying them.

Cao Xianfeng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shanyang Town, stated that currently, Shanyang is in a critical period of opening a new chapter in the 14th Five Year Plan. The whole town is inspired by the dragon boat spirit of taking the lead and standing at the forefront, striving to make progress, demonstrating the power of Shanyang on the track of high-quality development, and tirelessly striving to build a modern coastal new town that is suitable for business, living, tourism, and heart.
