A total of 40 contestants experienced "the fast and the furious" together with the audience.

Other cultural and recreational activities such as salty water songs and lion dances with Lingnan characteristics were equally part of this event.

Fusha Single-person Boat Race (commonly known as "Clam Boat"), dating as far back as the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, is an innovative sports activity created by the local population based on the Dragon Boat Racing traditional culture. It was thus listed in the 4th batch of Zhongshan intangible cultural heritage projects in October 2012.
