A three-player root boat race took place on April 27 on the Xinchong River in Zhongshan's Sanjiao Town, with steersmen rowing through the waves, the crews moving in perfect unison, and thousands of spectators along the banks cheering enthusiastically.

Root boats, like arrows shot from a bow, are engaged in fierce competition on the Xinchong River.

Flanked by beautiful scenery, Xinchong River has a wide, straight course, providing optimal racing conditions.

Veteran rowers still retain their prowess and vigor.

A spectator is capturing the thrilling moments.

Team members select suitable racing boats from the root boat culture museum.
