Promising to fill the season with all imaginable festivities in the months of June and July, Hong Kong has begun its activities with the annual International Dragon Boat Races (IDBR).

A hallmark event on the international sports scene, it returned to Victoria Harbour on June 15 and 16 and awed everyone with some of the world’s best dragon boat athletes. Some 170 teams from around the world paddled their way through to the finish line in their grand dragon boats, including the Philippines’ very own Philippine Dragon Boat Federation (PDBF) Elite, who bagged silver and bronze medals in last year’s event.

Egged on by drummers and screaming crowds, the dragon boats racing against the backdrop of Victoria Harbour was once again a sight to behold, with the lively energy of spectators pumping up the two-day event.

Fun with the Line Friends, however, did not stop with the International Dragon Boat Races. Visitors explored dragon boat-themed Line Friends displays, took selfies at the Line Friends Hong Kong Summer Chill Photo Spots, and indulged in local delights along the Avenue of Stars for a complete day-to-night experience.
