As part of the Dragon's Trail summer program of Wenzhou-Kean University, a group of students and teachers from the US visited the Wenzhou Dragon Boat Sports Center at Ouhai of Wenzhou, East China's Zhejiang province.

They appreciated dragon boat culture and experienced the charm of China's intangible cultural heritage at the Wenzhou Dragon Boat Culture Museum. After that, they had fun rowing the dragon boats under the guidance of coaches. The students waved the oars and made a burst of enthusiastic shouts.

"I like this place a lot because we know interesting dragon boat culture and learn some Wenzhou characteristics here," said Nate. Wu Bingqing, a Chinese volunteer from Wenzhou-Kean University, expressed that she felt the colliding and merging of Chinese and American cultures in her interactions with American students.

During the five-day Dragon's Trail summer program of Wenzhou-Kean University, American students visited various cultural relics and attractions in Wenzhou, enjoying the essence of Chinese tradition.
