Of course, the experience of wrapping Zongzi is indispensable to the event. The volunteers arranged at Hongri Pavilion (the charity landmark) will wrap the Zongzi with all the guests together. The guests will be divided and teamed up again to attend the “Zongzi contest”. Each team will compete with others in the aspects of the speed of wrapping Zongzi, the quality and taste of their wrapped ones, etc. And finally the best one will be voted and rewarded with awards. At the end of the event, you can also enjoy the magnificent flash-mob performance. What a great scene! Hundreds of people get together for the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival.
