Indonesia is famous for its traditional boat races known as Perahu Naga or Dragon Boat races. These races are held in various regions across the country, particularly in coastal areas and during cultural festivals.
The boats used in these races are typically long and narrow, decorated with colorful designs and carvings. Teams of rowers paddle in sync to the beat of drums, creating an exciting and competitive atmosphere.
Some popular boat race events include the Lomba Perahu Naga in Lake Toba, North Sumatra, and the traditional boat races in Kalimantan and Sulawesi. These events attract both local participants and international visitors.
Boat racing in Indonesia is not just a sport but also a cultural tradition that has been passed down through generations. It showcases the maritime heritage and community spirit of the Indonesian people. |
