Who said sports can’t build bridges? 🚣♂️ A crew of 12 Bulgarian paddlers recently made waves at a dragon boat competition in Yunlong Town, Zhejiang Province—the heartbeat of China’s 2,000-year-old dragon boat culture. Their mission? To row their way into cross-cultural friendship!
The event, featuring 21 teams, saw Bulgarian rowers team up with local squads, splashing through traditions and high-fives alike. 🌏💦 Yunlong, dubbed the 'birthplace of Chinese dragon boat culture,' became a stage for laughter, teamwork, and shared noodles (because post-race snacks are universal, right?).
This isn’t just about paddles and prizes—it’s a vibe check for global unity. As one Bulgarian participant grinned, 'We came for the boats, but we’re leaving with new family.' 🇨🇳🤝🇧🇬
