( News from this website) The 2013 Tempe Dragon Boat Race will start at 7 a.m. on March 23 at Tempe Lake. This year, not only dragon boat teams from the United States participated in the competition, but friends from as far away as Canada came to participate. Senior overseas Chinese leader Yin Yanhuan, senior Chinese host John Tang, and founding president of the Asian Real Estate Association Zhang Shengyi were all invited to attend the opening ceremony. Yin Yanhuan has supported the dragon boat race for nearly ten years. She recalled that when she was just preparing for the dragon boat race ten years ago, the shipping cost for two dragon boats was tens of thousands of dollars. Ma Ying-jeou, the mayor of Taipei, Taiwan, and now the president of Taiwan, donated two dragon boats to the Chinese people in Phoenix and shipped them to Phoenix. This dragon boat race, which has been organized for ten years, has become an international event. Yin Yanhuan and Tempe City Councilor were invited to put the finishing touches on the dragon boat race.
