The image depicts a dragon boat race taking place on a muddy river. The boats, which are long and narrow, are lined up in a row, with several of them being visible in the foreground. The boats are decorated with red and white flags, and there is a crowd of people watching from the banks, some of whom are holding flags as well. The scene appears to be set in a rural or semi-rural area, with buildings and trees visible in the background. The sky is clear, indicating good weather for the event.
