Taiwan Teams Battle Heat and Rivals in National Games Canoe Polo Showdown.
Pingtung's Dapeng Bay hosted Taiwan's National Games canoe polo tournament, where teams from across the island competed for glory. Despite sweltering heat, athletes showcased determination and strategy, delivering fierce defensive plays to secure victory for their regions.

I started my photography journey at 17, evolving it from a passion to my profession. Initially drawn to dragon boat sports as a photojournalist, I focused on capturing rowers' expressions during races. Over 8 years,I've specialized in dragon boat race photography, aiming to share the profound beauty of this oriental sport with a wider audience. When my subjects view my photos and witness their own resilience and strength, it seems to inspire them to embrace new challenges with greater courage.
