Dragon Boat Festival

This article was extracted from my early NetEase blog. NetEase Blog is no longer operating, but looking back, these words are still quite interesting, so I decided to move them over as intact as possible. This is mainly kept as a record; after all these years, the quality of the text, images, and links may all have been affected.

This article was originally published on May 28, 2009. I was about 20 years old at the time and was in college.

Haha, today is the Dragon Boat Festival. There was no way to go home for it, so I spent the whole day having fun with a few classmates! It still had quite a bit of "flavor."

In the morning, a few of us took a car together to a park in Shanghai with quite a bit of flavor: Guhua Park. (Hehe, that sentence was not said by me, but this park really is quite nice, just a little small.) Pavilions, lake water, swimming fish. This park seemed like a paradise beyond the world. In Shanghai, a traffic-heavy city, finding a place like this really felt unbelievable! We wandered around the park for a full five hours, from morning to afternoon. It really made people not want to leave!

In the afternoon, the six of us actually bought a roast duck. Since we had already started, we simply bought a pile of zongzi and cold dishes and celebrated our own Dragon Boat Festival in the dorm! Hehe, even outside our hometowns, we still ate zongzi for Dragon Boat Festival, hehe!
