My plan is to lay out an opening scene in three parts. The first part takes place at the court of Lord Chiang with the arrival of a guest, the second in the festival market below where the Wardens and Judge are stepping up patrols, and the third on the riverbank where the paper boats are coming in and the contest is about to begin. I'd like to feather these together so they blend one into the other, and leave space in between for scenes of your own devising rather than locking you into a choice of one of the three.
