A completed dragon boat is usually painted three times in Zibu town, Wannian county, East China's Jiangxi province, June 6, 2016. Regions near Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, have a long history of hosting races during the Duanwu (Dragon Boat) Festival celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Zhang Yunneng learned the craft from his father and the boats he makes sell about 12,000 yuan ($1,280) to 20,000 yuan each. He received orders for more than 30 dragon boats this year. It usually takes five days for three craftsmen to build a dragon boat with 12 seats. [Photo/China News Service]
