More than a race, this is a journey into one of Guangyuanโs most distinctive cultural traditions.
Unlike the traditional dragon boat races commonly associated with China, Guangyuan celebrates the Phoenix Boat (ๅค่) โ a beautiful water tradition deeply connected to women, heritage, and the legendary story of Wu Zetian, Chinaโs only female emperor who was born in Guangyuan.
The tradition of rowing Phoenix Boats has a history of more than 1,300 years. Today, it has become a signature event of the Guangyuan Daughterโs Festival, where women take to the waters, race together, and celebrate strength, unity, courage, and feminine spirit.
The Phoenix Boat itself carries the phoenix as its cultural symbol, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern racing design โ representing both Guangyuanโs heritage and the strength of women.
From the rivers of Cagayan de Oro ๐ต๐ญ to the waters of Guangyuan ๐จ๐ณ, CGY Oro Dragons proudly joins this international celebration of friendship, culture, sportsmanship, and women empowerment.
As our team prepares for this journey, we humbly ask our families, friends, supporters, and the entire CGY community to pray for our safe travels, good health, strength, unity, and a successful competition. Your prayers, messages, and support will be with us as we paddle beyond our shores. ๐ฉท
