J¨©m¨§i ¼¯ÃÀ Dragon
Boat (L¨®ngzh¨u, ÁúÖÛ) Races are Jimei¡¯s real drawing card. Held
every fifth day of the fifth Luny month, these races have been held for
at least a couple thousand years, and teams from all over the world compete
in Jimei¡¯s exciting event. For more, turn to the section on ¡°Chinese Festivals.¡±
Mr. Tan made the 300x800m Dragon Boat Pond
(L¨®ngzh¨u Ch¨ª, ÁúÖÛ³Ø) in 1952, and also constructed 10 dragon boats, each
capable of holing 16 rowers. J¨©m¨§i has been famous for dragon boat races
ever since.
The pond is surrounded by seven Chinese pavilions of different styles,
called the ¡°Seven Stars Fall to Earth¡± (q¨©x¨©ngzhu¨¬d¨¬ÆßÐÇ×¹µØ). Mr. Tan designed
the two pavilions in the center of the lake; they are named ¡°Lonely Star
Accompanies the Moon¡± (G¨±x¨©ng Sh¨¦nyu¨¨ ¹ÂÐÇʲÔÂ).
