Highlight 1 of the route: The folk activity of splashing water on the sea in the town of Shishi Hanjiang is a unique Dragon Boat Festival activity in southern Fujian, and also a unique activity of splashing water on the sea in the whole country and the world. It has been passed down for nearly 300 years and has become a unique cultural custom of crossing Fujian and Taiwan. Since its inception in 2007, the Fujian Taiwan Cross cultural Festival and the Hanjiang Sea Water Splashing Festival have been held for 17 consecutive times, and their influence has continued to increase. They have been included in the third batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists by the State Council, key projects of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, key support projects of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the theme activities of "Our Festival - Dragon Boat Festival" by the Central Civilization Office, It is also rated as "China's most local folk festival", which not only inherits the ancient elements of the Central Plains culture, but also integrates the characteristics of marine culture, and has a far-reaching impact on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Route highlight 2: During the Dragon Boat Festival, Anhai held the Jinjiang (Anhai) Dragon Boat Festival Folk Tourism and Culture Festival, and held special activities such as "catching ducks on the water" and "wordy" in Anpingqiao Scenic Area. The "wordy and loquacious dance", also known as lotus picking, is a traditional folk dance of stepping on the street performed during the Dragon Boat Festival, which originated from the "exorcism" of ancient Quanzhou and the "lotus picking dance team" of the Tang and Song dynasties. When picking lotus, one should sing the "picking lotus song", and almost every word of the song should be followed by one "wordy". As time passed, the activity of picking lotus was also called "wordy". Highlight 3 of the route: During the Dragon Boat Festival, "catching ducks on water" is said to be Zheng Chenggong's training program for training sailors. Duck hunters need to walk barefoot through long bamboo poles, open the cage hanging on the top of the pole, release the ducks, and then jump into the water to catch ducks.
