Dragon boat dialogue: face to face with the Ma Wan Lian Qing Dragon, paddles between history and the sound of the tide

The drumbeats of dragon boats are not just the rhythm of competition, but the heartbeat of an island. The Ma Wan Lian Qing Dragon—a team composed of descendants of boat dwellers, islanders, and foreign partners—not only repeatedly competes on the track but also creates a sound of oars that transcends time and culture. You will meet members of the public interested in dragon boat culture and community history, and those who want to hear intergenerational dialogues and island stories.

Dialogue Focus:

• The evolution of Ma Wan dragon boats: from ritual to competition, from village memories to community identity.

• The team's story: How does the Lian Qing Dragon unite people from different backgrounds into a family on the sea?

• A world in a paddle: Dragon boating is not just a sport, but also a dialogue with the sea and a philosophy of teamwork.
