Dragon Boat Race Fires up Hong

Kong

In celebration of the Tuen Ng festival, Cushman

& Wakefield participated in the Sun Life Stanley

International Dragon Boat Race, which is the

largest and the most exciting dragon boat series in

Asia. The race was at Stanley Main Beach in Hong

Kong.

Dragon Boat Racing is a rapidly growing sport

that combines Chinese traditions, competition,

teamwork and fun. Dragon boats are 46 feet long

and feature paddlers, a drummer and a steersman.

During the race, the drummer’s job is to keep an

effective beat in order to synchronise the paddlers.

GOS was well represented with 27 paddlers on the

team and took part in three races. The Cushman

& Wakefield Dragon Boat team achieved the best

time record of 1.23 seconds.
