With the Guangzhou International Dragon Boat Invitational Tournament approaching, teams from various countries and regions are busy preparing.

For David Butler, general manager of the Guangzhou International Dragon Boat Team, dragon boating has been part of his life since 2010. According to David, the sport has attracted growing global interest, with enthusiasts from France, Germany, Russia, and South America; many first take it up for exercise, but as they join a team, they gradually learn more about Chinese culture and come to understand what he calls the "Longzhou spirit."
