Zongzi (a sticky rice dumpling covered in bamboo leaves, sort of like a Chinese tamale), dragon boats, sachets, mugwort and calamus... these are the things that remind me of Duanwu Festival, a.k.a. Dragon Boat Festival.
It's a national holiday, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month in lunar calendar. People watch the races on TV, wrap and eat zongzi, and try to balance an egg at exactly 12:00 noon. Dragon Boat competitions have always been the highlight. If you are here in Taiwan in late May or early June, don't miss it. Who knows? You may be forming your own dragon boat team next year.
