(240610) -- TIANJIN, June 10, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- Laura Mora (L), a Spanish engineer from Airbus China, talks with her friend during the 2024 Haihe Dragon Boat Race in north China's Tianjin on June 10, 2024. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Laura Mora finished her dragon boat race in the 2024 Haihe Dragon Boat Race for the first time. Born in coastal city Cadiz, the spanish engineer is familiar with many water sports, but the dragon boat race with a long history stays fresh to her. "Participating in Dragon Boat races is not just for Dragon Boat Festival entertainment to me, but also a good way to discover the cultural inheritance of a new city I lived in," she said. Tianjin was one of the early northern cities to carry out dragon boat sports. In 1988, Tianjin held the first dragon boat race to commemorate the Water Diversion Project from Luanhe River to Tianjin City. So far, with 36 years history, the Haihe Dragon Boat Race has become an important label of water sports in Tianjin. "

"Yu Zhong Ke 2180" ferry remains the last "water bus" running between Yangdu and Xishan wharfs in Zhongxian County of Chongqing.

Qin Dayi, the 45-year-old captain of the ferry, has sailed on the river for over a decade. The ferry offers a journey essential to many, though it was once on the verge of vanishing. In 2016, a new expressway reduced the travel time by bus to just 50 minutes, compared to the two-hour boat journey. Most residents switched to bus travel, but many farmers still preferred the boat, which accommodated their bulky baskets and live animals. The fare is also much cheaper.
