Ilan, Taiwan, 1993 Photograph by Jodi Cobb A stretch of open road in
Taiwan lies empty due to heavy rains that canceled that year's Dragon
Boat Festival. This festival, held in the small northeast village of
Ilan, features dragon boat races, firecrackers, and throngs of cheering
spectators. Even as it forges forward with booming industries and
soaring skyscrapers, Taiwan struggles to preserve fleeting tokens of
its ancient heritage.

November 1993, National Geographic magazine)    RELATED
