A Dragon Boat Festival “experience” activity was held for young South Korean students in Seoul’s China Cultural Center on June 9. Aimed at promoting cultural exchanges and enhancing friendship between the two countries, the activity attracted more than 30 students from 7 middle and elementary schools, based in Seoul and other cities.

Teachers and students visited the cultural centre’s library and read books about the Dragon Boat Festival. Later, they watched a cartoon introducing the festival and played a competitive answering game. After that, they made rice dumplings (zongzi) under the guidance of the centre’s cook. Curious to find out how to package rice with reed leaves, they were all excited to learn.
