Hanbridge Hub

To let teachers and students on campus experience the festive atmosphere in advance, Hanbridge Institute specially prepared a heartwarming Dragon Boat Festival activity to welcome this traditional celebration together.

🐉 DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL

It’s Time for Zongzi!

When it came to zongzi (glutinous rice dumplings), we carefully prepared a variety of flavours to suit the different preferences of teachers and students:

🥢 Lightly sweet plain zongzi and red bean zongzi – perfect for those who enjoy traditional and healthier tastes;
🥢 Pork zongzi and mushroom pork zongzi – savoury and aromatic, evoking nostalgic memories of childhood with every bite.

🧧 DIY Dragon Boat Festival Sachets

Besides delicious dumplings, we also organised a culturally meaningful DIY perfume sachet-making session. Students could freely choose from 9 types of natural herbs, including:
🌹 rose,
🌼 jasmine,
🌿 cinnamon,
🍃 mugwort,
🌱 rosemary,
💜 lavender,
🌬 peppermint,
and more — to create their own unique personalised scent.

Each herb carries different benefits — some calms the mind, others refresh or repel mosquitoes — making the sachets both practical and symbolic.

As students crafted their sachets, they also learned about the tradition and significance behind wearing them during the Dragon Boat Festival: to ward off evil, offer blessings, and promote peace and health. Through this hands-on process, the essence of the festival quietly took root in everyone’s hearts.
