| 19-Jun-2002 - |
Hundreds of thousands of people were in and out of Macao on the traditional Dragon Boat Festival and the Father's Day, which fall on June 15 and 16, respectively,according to local customs. Macao residents flocked to China's inland to visit their relatives, go shopping or sightseeing. On the other hand, visitor arrivals in Macao also increased by big margins. Together with their children and wives, many Macao men were seen enjoying meals at restaurants in the neighboring city of Zhuhai on June 16. Dragon-boat races were held in Macao and a number of cities in Guangdong to commemorate the Chinese patriotic poet Qu Yuan who lived in the Kingdom Chu more than 2,000 years ago. Macao drew athletes from the inland and Hong Kong. Gongbei Customs, the only land gate linking the special administrative region with China's inland areas, had to open special passages to handle the passenger flow in rush hours. Police were there helping them fill in entry and exit cards and reminding them of taking care of their luggage. |
