Villagers in Peijia village in Rizhao, Shandong Province, celebrate the Fishermen's Festival on July 31, 2012.

People there believe the dragon king to be the god of the sea and celebrate the dragon king's birthday on June 13 on the lunar calendar every year in the hope of protecting their people and their boats.

Villagers there began celebrating in 1996 and performances include dragon dance, yangge dance and an aquarium dance performed by the local folk arts troupe.
