Letters introducing traditional European festivals

Dear Paul:

I am glad to know that you are interested in China Festival, so I am writing to introduce the Dragon Boat Festival to you.

Dragon Boat Festival is an annual traditional festival in China, which is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the China lunar calendar. It can be traced back to more than 2000 years ago, and this year is June 8. On this day, people in China prepare zongzi, glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves. As the name of the festival shows, people hold dragon boat races to celebrate it, especially in places where there are many rivers and lakes in the south. Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a great poet in ancient China. Finally, I would appreciate it if you could introduce some traditional festivals in your country.

Yours, Li Hua
