One of the most spectacular sights in the world is the annual Dragon Boat Race on Macao's Nam Van Lake, with ornate boats surrounded by glimmering skyscrapers. But before the big event, each country must choose its fire-breathing champion. See London's competitors duke it out at Royal Dukes in a one-day celebration of rowing prowess and Chinese culture.
More than 20 teams will race along a 200 metre course, sped on by the beats of the dragon drum. The winners will get a trip to compete in Macao. And everyone else will get a fascinating dose of Chinese culture in a festival atmosphere by the water's edge. This year's fest includes cultural performances on the main stage from 12 noon, after kicking off with a traditional Lion Dance. There's a kids corner with a special viewing area, face painting and arts and crafts. Step into the Macao Pavilion to discover this waterfront city's heritage. Or relax with food and drink from the international array of stalls, from craft beers to bubble tea.
