The Fast and the Furious movie series may have popularized car drifting, but people in Diejiao, Foshan recently enjoyed dragon boat drifting.

On June 18, 19 teams from Diejiao came to compete on the C-shaped racing track in Tantou village. A 25-meter dragon boat with over 30 people needs to drift on the only 6-meter-wide sinuous river.

The screaming and shouting from attendees provided great support to all the paddlers.
