The dumpling eating history of this festival revolves around a famous poet named Qu Yuan. It is said he ended his life by jumping into a river because of great sorrow and disillusionment he felt in response to the corruption that he saw happening all around him. After his death legend says all the villagers threw rice into the river to tempt the river dragons to eat the rice and save his spirit from being devoured. His sacrifice caused the country to begin a period of reflection and a long period of peace followed. To commemorate his death, villagers began making the rice dumplings or 'zongzi' during the time of the anniversary of Qu Yuan's sacrifice, which later became known as the Dragon Boat festival and this is why 'zongzi' are still eaten to this day.

Officially opened in 2005, the park was slated to attract up to six million visitors per year. The official name for the project was Hong Kong Disneyland Resort which consists of a Disneyland theme park, two Disney themed hotels and a host of dining and entertainment options. The park was built on reclaimed land at the north eastern tip of Lantau Island near Penny's Bay. The environmental furor that was created surrounding the land reclamation and later on the decision to serve shark fin soup tarnished the image of the resort slightly but now with those teething problems behind it, HK Disneyland has become a premier tourist attraction.
