? International students from Chongqing University join local residents in Ba’nan District, Chongqing Municipality, to make ciba (glutinous rice cakes) Wednesday. They were part of more than 200 expats and locals celebrating traditional Chinese customs ahead of the Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on Saturday. Ciba is a popular delicacy in southern China and a must-have treat during the festival for people in Sichuan Province. With a history of over 2,000 years, the Dragon Boat Festival is one of China’s most significant cultural events. Its customs include making and eating zongzi (glutinous rice dumplings), racing dragon boats, hanging mugwort and calamus to ward off evil, and drinking realgar wine, all of which symbolize cultural heritage and community bonds.
