Hong Kong holds a small-scale dragon boat race on the day of the Tuen Ng festival at Stanley beach.

Social restrictions have loosened and the city has kept the coronavirus largely under control, but the festivities were vastly reduced compared to normal years. The festival normally attracts thousands of spectators and participants, who paddle under the scorching sun in a day-long competition.
