Singapore: Niangjie Zongzi

Every Dragon Boat Festival, Singaporeans also have the custom of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi. Among them, Niangjie Zongzi is a unique Dragon Boat Festival food in Singapore.

Zongzi is of course an essential holiday food. However, Singapore's zongzi also has multicultural characteristics, such as Malay zongzi and curry zongzi with Indian color. There was also a unique "Zongzi Tree" on the day's activities. More than 200 Zongzi were hung on the tree, including real Zongzi, plastic Zongzi and some "Zongzi" made of balloons.

The dry dragon boat is a special program of the activity. Yang Jianwei, a member of the Social Affairs Committee of the Singapore Clan Association, said that for convenience, the competition was held on land and simulated the dragon boat. Yang Jianwei said that Singapore has preserved many traditional customs of Chinese society, and some festivals are celebrated with great solemnity. On the other hand, with the development of Singapore society, the Dragon Boat Festival and other activities have become one of the festivals with more public participation and one of the ways to promote the integration of new and old immigrants.
