Panyu Dragon Boat Race Time and Place Introduction Award

Dragon Boat Festival is coming. I believe everyone knows that there will be a very lively dragon boat race every year. This year, Panyu District, Guangzhou will hold a dragon boat race. Then, let's learn about the specific information of this competition!

time

The 17th "Lotus Cup", "Yushan Cup" Dragon Boat Race and Colorful Dragon Race in Panyu District will be held in Shiqiaohe (east of Dexing Bridge) on June 9th (Sunday, the seventh day of the fifth lunar month), with 8,000 athletes participating.

It is reported that Panyu dragon boat race is traditionally scheduled for the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May. Because the fifth day of May this year happens to be the college entrance examination, in order to avoid the college entrance examination and facilitate public viewing, Sunday, June 9 is designated as a public holiday.

Number of entries

A total of 102 dragon boats participated in this activity, including Lotus Cup traditional dragon boat race 16, Yushan Cup standard dragon boat race 15 and colorful dragon boat race 7 1 boat. The audience is expected to exceed 65438+ million.

Venue

As for the site selection, the relevant personnel said that this year, like the last one, they are all in the Shiqiao section east of Dexing Bridge. "The river here is wider than the original competition place and can accommodate more dragon boats. The scene is more grand, the vision is wider, and it will look more beautiful. "

Brief introduction of dragon boat race

Relevant personnel of the activity department said that the traditional dragon boat races are all dragon boat teams in various towns and streets, and the contestants require Panyu residents; In addition to the local dragon boat team, the standard dragon boat race also extended to the surrounding areas of Panyu, inviting dragon boat teams from brother areas such as Baiyun, Haizhu, Huangpu, Zengcheng and Nansha, as well as a local club dragon boat team and a college student dragon boat team. There are no restrictions on the contestants.

It is reported that the biggest difference this year is the starting point and the end point. The floating platform at the starting point is set up to gather all the dragon boats together. Last time because there was no floating platform at the starting point, the dragon boat always broke down, causing dissatisfaction among individual dragon boat teams. This year, because the starting point floated on the platform, the ending point was 100 meter earlier than before, giving the dragon boat a buffer zone.

award

It is reported that this year's competition, Cailong Jingyan has three awards: Best Tradition Award, Best Skills Award and Best Folklore Award. Both the traditional dragon of "Lotus Cup" and the standard dragon of "Yushan Cup" have gold and silver awards, and each award has entered the top four.

In terms of prize money, in order to improve the enthusiasm of participating in the dragon boat race, the prize money of this event has been upgraded in an all-round way, with a total prize of 982,000 yuan (792,000 yuan in the previous session) and the highest single prize of 68,000 yuan (28,000 yuan in the first prize of the traditional dragon boat race). In addition, the training fee for the team participating in the Lotus Cup Dragon Boat Race is subsidized by 40,000 yuan; The training fee for each team participating in the Yushan Cup standard dragon boat race is 23,000 yuan.
