Lakeside tradition gets underway

Hundreds of racing boats line up to take part in the Net-Boat Fair along the bank of Liansidang Lake of Jiaxing, in north Zhejiang province, April 11, 2010. Spring witnesses China's sole on-water sacrificial ceremony, during which a series of activities are held, including large-scale sacrifices, a boat-racing festival and folk culture performances. Fishermen ship donations to Liuwang Temple in remembrance of Liu Chengzhong in Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), who helped the locals wipe out locusts from the city. [Photo/CFP]
