Jimei Village of Scholars was built by Mr Chen Jaigeng independently. The Village is both a place to bring up elites and a tourist area consisting of many places of scenic beauty. The Dragon Boat Pool is the most famous among the numerous scenic spots in it.
Dragon Boat Pool is surrounded by dragon-decorated ridges and phoenix-decorated eaves, carved beams and painted rafters with red-lacquered doors in the middle of green-lacquered frames. Two waterside pavilions standing in the middle of the lake looks like two seagulls about to fly to great heights. On the Duanwu Festival (the 5th day of the 5th lunar month), large scale dragon boat race will be held in the pool every year. Once the race starts, all the gongs and drums keep beating amid a hubbub of voices while the boats move for ward along with the inverted reflections in the water. It is a thrilling scene.
