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 synchronize 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.
