<![CDATA[The Dragon Boat Festival, or Peh Cun, is a traditional Chinese celebration rich in historical, cultural, and social values that has developed across various regions. This study aims to compare the implementation and preservation forms of Peh Cun in Tangerang, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Employing a qualitative approach with a comparative literature study method, data were gathered from journal articles, cultural publications, and related research on Peh Cun or Duānwǔ Jié, then analyzed thematically to identify similarities and differences. The results reveal similarities in the dragon boat race, the tradition of zòngzi or bakcang, and community involvement. Differences are evident in the competition formats, supporting rituals, social functions, and cultural contexts. In Tangerang, Peh Cun plays a role in preserving Benteng Chinese culture and social interaction; in Taiwan, the tradition has evolved through a blend of cultural practices and sporting activities; whereas in Hong Kong, the celebration has developed into a major cultural and athletic event engaging both locals and tourists. Thus, the preservation of Peh Cun demonstrates the adaptation of tradition to the social and cultural conditions of each respective region.]]>
