#CHINA-HUNAN-DRAGON BOAT BOW MAKING (CN)

Folk artist Chen Bingshou (1st R) installs the dragon head on the boat with others in Daoxian County of Yongzhou City, central China's Hunan Province. Chen, 56, has been engaged in making dragon head for over 40 years. Every year, June is the busiest time for Chen as the demand for the dragon head is strong ahead of the dragon boat festival. Each dragon weighs about 15 kilograms and it takes Chen about 12 days to finish. (Xinhua/He Hongfu)
