We had a wonderful afternoon on Sunday 28th June at London Regatta Centre, for the 2015 London Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival. Not only were we there to enjoy the many races taking place (which are the traditional commemoration of the death of China’s revered patriot poet Qu Yuan in 278BC) but also to present the Hutong Anniversary Cup, for the second year running.
Today, 26th June, is the second anniversary of our opening and we are celebrating by once again sponsoring a cup at the annual London Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival, taking place this Sunday 28th June at the London Regatta Centre.
Forty rowing clubs, corporate and amateur teams will battle it out over the course of the day to win one of four cups, among them the Hutong Anniversary cup which is presented to the team which records the quickest time over the course of the day.
The Dragon Boat racing celebrates the annual Dragon Boat Festival or ‘Double Fifth’, and is a fun filled day for all to experience Chinese culture. The event is free and suitable for all the family so do come along and join us to cheer the teams on. Our general manager Simon, restaurant manager Lee and chef Bing will all be attending to present the cup so do be sure to say ni hao!
