The Dragon Boat Festival in 2024 fell on June 10. The dragon boat race is a key event in the celebration of the festival. Since it’s rare for us to be in Taiwan during this time, we decided to go see it. Concerned about the crowds, we chose to visit the Breeze Canal in Luzhou District, New Taipei City, on June 9 to watch the races.
Unfortunately, there weren’t many boats participating—we only saw one race, and the morning races had already ended. Additionally, there were no food vendors on site, so we had to return to Luzhou MRT Station for lunch.
2024 年的端午節是 6 月 10 日，龍舟競賽是慶祝端午節的重要活動，難得我們在臺灣，便去看看。因為怕人太多，9 日我們到新北市蘆洲區微風運河看龍舟賽
可惜因為參賽的船隻不多，我們只看到了一場比賽，中午前的比賽就結束了。而且現場沒有賣吃的攤販，我們只好回到瀘州捷運站吃午餐。
New Taipei Metropolitan Park 新北大都會公園
After lunch, we decided to visit New Taipei Metropolitan Park, located next to Sanchong MRT Station. This 424-hectare, 7.7-kilometer-long park serves both flood control and recreational purposes. It is divided into several zones, including an ecological experience area (Wugu Wetland, Breeze Canal), an urban sports area (remote control racing field, basketball court, baseball and softball fields), and a parent-child recreation area (Wedding Plaza, Inclusive Playground).
The dragon boat race we had just attended took place in the Breeze Canal, which is part of New Taipei Metropolitan Park. Adjacent to Sanchong MRT Station is the parent-child recreation area. Featuring the theme of "Taiwan's Native Animals," it includes 31 slides and 100 sets of play equipment. Even as adults, we felt childlike and eager to try out the various slides and playground features.
吃完中飯我們決定去捷運三重站旁的新北大都會公園看看，這個424公頃，全長7.7公里，為防洪兼具休閒遊憩功能的公園，被規劃為生態體驗區 (五股濕地、微風運河)、都會運動區 (遙控賽車場、籃球場、棒壘球場)以及親子休閒區 (婚紗廣場、共融遊戲場)。
我們才去的龍舟賽在微風運河，便是新北大都會公園的一部分。捷運三重站旁即是親子休閒區，這裏以台灣原生動物」為主題，設置了31座溜滑梯及100組遊具設施，連我們這種老小孩也童心未泯，躍躍欲試各種滑梯及遊樂設施。
我很喜歡三重捷運站的這幅《時代的回聲》藝術作品。

Cape gooseberry, other common names include goldenberry and Peruvian groundcherry (Physalis peruviana). We saw someone picking wild cape gooseberry, and we were very curious. The person who picked them treated us to one, which was sweet and tart.
燈籠果又稱姑娘果、菇孃兒、錦燈籠、秘魯苦贅。我們看到有人在摘野生的燈籠果，非常好奇，摘的人就請我們吃了一個，酸酸甜甜的。
Chenguang Bridge 辰光橋
The Chenguang Bridge is a scenic platform specially designed for pedestrians and cyclists to pause and pass through. Its design concept is inspired by the legendary story of the reunion between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The overlapping double-layer bridge deck, with its Milky Way-like curve and magpie-shaped shaded area, evokes the imagery of Chinese Valentine’s Day.
辰光橋是一座專供行人及單車駐足及通行的景觀平台，設計理念出自傳說中牛郎織女重逢的故事，藉由銀河曲線交疊雙層橋面及鵲鳥造型遮陰區，形塑銀河、七夕的意象。
The next day, we decided to visit Dajia Riverside Park to watch the Taipei City Dragon Boat Race. There were many boats participating, and the races were incredibly exciting.
我們第二天決定去大佳河濱公園看台北市的龍舟賽，參與的船多，一趟趟的競賽，看得興奮及過隱。
