| The 8 racing teams are divided into 2 races, 4 teams each time, and gather at the starting point at the foot of the suspension bridge. When the starting signal is heard, the boats shout and try their best to swim upstream of the Lam River. The team that reaches the "air" chicken marked on the river first will be the first to come in first. To beat the opponent, each team must have strong racers, good swimmers and good coordination.
