As the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, approaches, embroiderers in Mazong Miao township, Tongzi county, in southwest China's Guizhou Province, are making scented sachets shaped like zongzi, or sticky rice dumplings, a traditional food for the holiday.
"In addition to making zongzi, we also make zongzi-shaped scented sachets," said local embroiderer Xiong Kuanyan, adding that the sachets are filled with wormwood and worn by both older adults and young people as a wish for health, luck and happiness.
