2. Because Wanzhou and Yichang belong to the Yangtze River basin, there are both geographical similarities and historical and cultural ties.

There are many similarities in folk customs between the two places, such as many traditional festivals and celebrations, such as the Double Ninth Festival, the Lantern Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival.

3. In addition, because both places are water towns, water sports and water culture have been widely developed and passed down in both places.

For example, the "Dragon Boat Festival" in Wanzhou and the "Dragon Boat Festival in yangtze river international" in Yichang are both the embodiment of water culture in their respective cities and one of the highlights of festival celebrations.

Therefore, although there are still some differences between the two places, on the whole, the folk customs of the two places are mutually influenced and related.
