Unlike the National Day or Spring Festival holidays that create massive logistical travel and traf-fic problems, the Dragon Boat Festival, falling on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar or June 8 this year, is a one-day affair celebrated throughout China but more so in southern re-gions where there are large bodies of water.Kunming in Yunnan Province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province and Suzhou in Jiangsu Province are ideal cities to visit during thisholiday.
