The Dragon Boat Race is held in the months of May and June each year at Marina Bay. It was first introduced to Singapore in 1978 as an ancient Chinese water sport and has rapidly grown into a worldwide phenomenal festival and event that brings international professional sporting teams from the far reaches of the earth to compete for honours. While this popular festival is also held in other South East Asian and Far Eastern countries, the event held in Singapore is one of the most ancient ongoing modern day race made popular across the entire world. The Singapore World Invitational Dragon Boat Races commemorate the death of a renowned poet who drowned himself to protest political corruption. Watching the entirely human powered boats racing against each other is an exciting and thrilling experience in itself. The races commence on the Bedok Reservoir which is a 20-minute taxi ride away from the city. The racing festival is a fun filled great spectator sporting event for elite travellers of all ages and ethnicities. Somerset Liang Court Singapore is a popular luxury hotel in Clark Quay Singaporethat opens out to accommodate the visiting travellers and sportsmen engaging in the races.
