The 2013 China Dragon Boat Tournament is to be held in Wanning City and the northern port of Lezheng Port on March 12 and 13.

March 13, the 2nd day of the second lunar month, is the Dragon-Head-Raising Festival. After that day, there will be more and more spring rain to nourish the crops, hence the many celebrations traditionally held.
