The Dragon Boat Festival, one of China's four most important traditional festivals, alongside Chinese New Year, Qingming, and the Mid-Autumn Festival, is a day dedicated to the dragon god.
        The Zongzi is one of the festival's most memorable delicacies. Zongzi is made by wrapping sticky rice, pork, and other grains in bamboo leaves and steam- or grill-baking them. Zongzi was one of the first picnic dishes in history.
         In Thailand, Zongzi is prepared specifically for worship and sharing. There will be no dragon boat competition today. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, dragon boat races are still held.
