This year, the museum reached out to Lanxi, where the unique "double-oar dragon boat" took shape as early as the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The vessel takes its name from its distinctive structure, which allows two lines of racers — one standing, one sitting — to paddle simultaneously.
Lanxi's government donated the boat to the museum.
The museum held a cultural heritage fair during the holiday, with dozens of stands presenting handicrafts from around the country.
