There are some notable differences between dragon boats, canoes and leaf boats. The following are their main differences:

1. Modeling: The dragon boat has a special structure, with a length of 12 to 20m and a width of 1.5 to 3m. A canoe is a slender boat, usually carved from a hollowed-out tree or a whole tree. Ye Zhou is a small boat, usually only a few meters long and narrow in width.

2. Cultural background: A wooden dragon boat is a representative of Miao culture and is closely related to Miao culture. From costumes, radial rowing posture to carving boats with wood and crossing the river, all of them embody an ancient and mysterious Miao culture.

3. Boating mode: Dragon boat racing is generally about dozens of people rowing at the same time. In canoes, people usually row alone. In canoes, usually only one person or several people row.

To sum up, there are significant differences among dragon boats, canoes and canoes in modeling, cultural background and rowing methods.
