The Dragon Boat Festival has been passed on for thousands of years.

On the occasion of the Dragon Boat Festival, the company organized rich Dragon Boat theme activities to enrich the cultural activities of employees and commemorate the traditional festival.

At the activity site, everyone watched the video of the origin of Dragon Boat Festival and learned to wrap zongzi (rice dumplings) following the video. The administration department prepared sweet and salty zongzi ingredients such as egg yolk, streaky pork and honey dates for everyone to choose, and everyone wrapped a variety of zongzi, and the scene was in full swing.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, besides eating zongzi and inserting mugwort leaves, people also wear incense sachets containing aromatic herbs such as mugwort, dahurica, Chuanxiong, scutellaria, and sweet pine, which not only have the functions of fragrance, insect repelling, plague avoidance and disease prevention, but also carry people's prayers and wishes for a better life. Everyone was having a great time sewing incense bags.

There is also the custom of wearing colorful ropes during the Dragon Boat Festival. The colorful ropes have been around for a long time and carry many legends and folk customs. With the meaning of praying for Najib, warding off evil spirits, and warding off the five poisons, the colorful rope is also called the "long life thread", which means to tie up well-being and good luck. 

At the end of the rich Dragon Boat Festival theme activities, the Administration Department also distributed to all employees the Dragon Boat Festival surprise gift-stored-value shopping card prepared by the company, to give employees and their families a holiday care.
