Only four days remain until the Dragon Boat Festival, a Chinese traditional festival that dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period(507-444 BC), which is more than 2000 years ago.

Like most traditional Chinese festivals, the Dragon Boat Festival is also associated with specific foods. Zongzi, or pyramid-shaped glutinous rice dumplings, is an indispensable part of the celebrations. They come in various shapes, including regular triangles, squares, and rectangles, as well as cones and bars. The major flavors of Zongzi are sweet and salty, depending on the region of China.
