The QinTong Boat Gathering Festival is held in Qintong Town, Jiangyan City on the second day of the Qingming Festival every year. The boats are divided into punt boats, rowing boats, flower boats, tribute boats, and ‘turning women’s boats’. Different types have different items, styles, and costumes, each with its own merits. At that time, thousands of boats compete and hundreds of ships race, presenting a spectacular scene. After the boat race, there are also folk activities such as performing, wine parties, and sending off the leading punt. Locals direct scenes of joyful games in this custom year after year, making the water town shrouded in a festive atmosphere. The opening time is around the Qingming Festival every year. The specific time is subject to the announcement of the scenic spot.
