Yesterday was the last day of Chinese New Year which lasts for 15 days. My family went to Darling Harbour to see the Dragon Boat racing.
On the roadsinde by the water where the racing took place, there are 12 cartoon aminals that representing the zodiac year. They are: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.
The peddles were all in high spiration. Before the start of their race, they did some warming-up excercises to get more energy.
Look at this team, can you see what did they wear on their heads? Can you see the two tiger ears and a tail? Oh, how cute they are.
This was the racing dragon boat with the little dragon head in the front and tail in the end. And there was a drum in the front of the boat, one person will beat the drum the guide their team to peddle in the same step and the sound of the drum can encourage their spirits high.
Look at this picture, how hot the racing was!
And there were some other activities like face painting, you can even got a free snack. Everybody loved that.
At last, look at the picture what I found in the water?
Sorry, I intended to make the photoes go together with their words. But now the photoes and the word seperated, I am too tired to make further change.
