Step into a world where history meets flavor and tradition sails through time! In Yuegang, Zhangzhou, a unique cultural legacy thrives as local artisans continue to craft traditional dragon boats by hand—steered with oars, just like the old ferries that once crossed to Taiwan.
With the Dragon Boat Festival on the horizon, these skilled craftsmen prepare zongzi featuring a salted egg yolk. According to local elders, the golden yolk represents the brilliant sun 🌞 while the rice inside mirrors the vast, endless sea 🌊. This beautiful blend not only delights the palate but also tells a story of heritage and nature intertwined.
Embrace this vibrant tradition and join a journey that connects the past, the elements, and the spirit of a timeless culture!
