Visiting the Duanwu Festival
The Duanwu Festival, or Dragon Boat Festival, falls on the fifth day of the fifth month on the Chinese calendar. And that specific date is actually very significant for some Chinese people, who consider the fifth month of the year unlucky. According to the Smithsonian, the Duanwu Festival dispels misfortune and bad spirits. WGCU Culture and Connections Reporter Elizabeth Andarge delves into how Southwest Florida takes part in the celebration.
