Whether you’re racing or just want to enjoy the electric atmosphere, the annual Dragon Boat Festival is one of Hong Kong’s most fun public holidays. It might be hot and sticky outside, but that shouldn’t stop you from watching the racing action from one of many vantage points throughout the city. Stanley Main Beach and Victoria Harbour host some of the more competitive tussles, but there is still dragon boating to be enjoyed in Discovery Bay, Mui Wo, Sha Tin and Sai Kung.
