🏮 UMAG Dragon Boat Festival closure arrangement
This year, as we celebrate the festival, we’re reminded of Fang Zhaoling’s vibrant painting “Dragon Boat Race (Ode to Peace, No. 6)” (1985), where a fiery red sunset and energetic paddlers capture the spirit of Tuen Ng. The artist infused the boats’ flags with wishes for “peace” and “smooth sailing”—a timeless message for our community today.
📅 Closure Notice:
UMAG will be closed on 31 May (Saturday) for the holiday.
