Hong Kong's dragon boat races are held to commemorate the death of an upright statesman who over 2,000 years ago drowned himself in the hope of shaming a tyrannical emperor into more modest authority. The day's entertainment includes hotly-contested rowing" events (above), each boat carrying on its prow a fierce dragon's head (below).
