The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month on the Chinese lunar calendar, falls on June 25 this year. During the holiday, people have the traditions of eating zongzi, a traditional Chinese food made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, drinking realgar wine (xionghuangjiu) and holding dragon boat race.  

People can experience Yanqing's "cloud" festival through playing with a WeChat H5 program whereby one can enjoy a series of online festival-themed activities including wrapping zongzi, rowing a dragon boat and hanging wormwood on the doorframe to drive bad luck or diseases out. 

In addition, the program enables users to appreciate Yanqing's scenery of the Great Wall at Badaling section and ancient cliff dwellings. People can also play H5 games to win the International Horticultural Exhibition tickets.
