Boat team members perform a dragon dance during the Qintong Boat Festival in Taizhou, east China's Jiangsu Province, April 8, 2018. The Qintong Boat Festival in Taizhou originated in China's Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279 A.D.) as a ceremony to commemorate war victims around the Qingming Festival. Nowadays, this tradition is well preserved and promoted, offering spectators a view of the gathering of hundreds of boats. (Xinhua/Tang Dehong)
