The Dream of Xitang: Boat Stories parade will continue until September 7, with the flower boats appearing every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening from 7:30-8:30.
As the boats drift through the softly lit canals under the night sky, they unfold a living scroll of southern Chinese culture — bridging time and space for all who come to watch.
