** Enjoy the charm of the Oriental Carnival.
Xishuangbanna Water Festival is scheduled for April 13-15 every year in Jinghong City, the capital of Xishuangbanna Prefecture, according to the arrangements of the Water Festival festivities will be appropriately adjusted or extended time. But the overall activities will not change.
The 13-14th will be held on the Lancang River and Mangi Park to catch the pendulum, the river to catch the pendulum of the main event for the dragon boat, and the Han Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Race is slightly different. However, the Lancang River is exposed on the river bank, so in the sunny time will be hot, and UV rays are strong, Kunming donkey outdoor remind friends to participate in the activities pay attention to sunscreen. The Manxiang Park Pendulum activity is mainly to stroll around the park and watch the dance performance. Of course, no matter whether it is a riverside drive or Manxiang Park drive is not without a variety of special snacks, barbecue and so on.
Another 13 or 14 days, will be held in the main city of the grand ethnic cultural performances, that is free to watch and understand the culture of Banna the best time. If you are a photographer, you need to get a good spot in the main city in advance, set up your equipment, and don't fight with the thousands of people to get a spot, you'll be in trouble, hehehe.
The 15th is the most important program of the water festival, all the people carnival, mutual splashing blessing. 15, whether you are in the city streets, or neighborhood stores, you will feel the warm atmosphere everywhere. Of course, if you don't want to be splashed all over the body, then you will have to stay quietly in the hotel room or Internet cafe.
During the festival, the streets will be filled with Dai girls dressed in colorful costumes. During the day, people from all walks of life will be in the riverside cockfighting, pile of sand, put Gao Sheng, performances of cultural and artistic programs, will be held in the Buddhist temple bath, drip, pray for blessings, and so on, at night, all walks of life will be in the Lancang River side of the homemade sparks, lanterns, fireworks in the air, river lanterns, and so on. Song and dance competitions and ethnic cultural performances are held in the city square.
After all the festivities, it's time to get to the point, the most important part of the festival, the Water Splashing Carnival.
Many friends may spend a lot of energy on the 13th and 14th, which is not a wise move. Because splashing water is a physical activity, not when the test of your feet (because you have to run all over the street, if you are a man, it will be more, haha), for your upper body strength is also a great test, whether you take the basin, or take the water pistol, you need to play all the strength, otherwise you will be the focus of the attack on the beauty of the more so.
The water festival to play happy, to play well, then we have to see the Kunming donkey outdoor water festival strategy.
The night of the 14th can not stay up too late, you can choose to see the evening party in the Mengha Cultural Square or you can stroll in the night market street, by the way, your beloved water pistol carry back. But don't wait until the next day to improvise and scour the streets, you'll definitely get splashed around. And also not always be able to pull out a good gun, either the gun type is not applicable, or the price is too high. Here I recommend a few good guns, of course, many friends will say why choose a gun, then I will start with the benefits of using a gun.
The ancient cloud "work to do its thing, must first sharpen its weapon", in the splash such a very important thing, it is even more important. In the past, we all use pots to splash water, because it is convenient to use pots, home, handy, the price is also very cheap. But wait for a few years we no longer use, why, because with the Banna splash more and more tourists, so the Banna tap water supply is getting tighter and tighter, before each unit in front of even each store is free to provide water, can be behind the back of the people feel unable to eat. Then the disadvantages of using pots appeared, you can not take an empty pot wandering in the street, waiting for people to splash you it, at least you have to splash people it, not how to call each other blessing it. Have come to Banna's friends will say, with pots good ah, do not have to walk around, in the splash plaza, splashing each other, yes, that is indeed a method. But the problem is that when you splash on a few minutes, you will find that the eyes can not open, and when you use all your strength to squeeze out of the pool to see, my mother ah, that the water is dirty, yo, with what bath water ah, foot washing water ah, mud pond water ah, can not be described.
No matter, we don't need to use the basin, we will use the bucket instead, the bucket is good, you can hold more water. But carrying a large bucket of water requires physical strength ah, you think ah, the left hand carried a large bucket of water, the right hand to take a small scoop or gargle cup, splashing water to the convenience of the, but the physical strength to eat ah. Encountered people to grab water that is not good to do, not waiting for you to splash people, the results of a bucket of water on the ground all sprinkled. Hey, pity ah ...... so with the progress of modern society, this era are changed to use guns.
At first glance, is not scared, then you can not blame Kunming donkey outdoor. Modern society everyone is concerned about an equipment, splashing water is no exception. That is, with a gun, with a water gun, huh. Water gun but there are many kinds of, that Kunming donkey outdoor to teach you how to choose the gun. First, you have to choose the right one for yourself, that is to say, to fit your body shape and you can use easy. First of all, girls, considering the physical strength of the lady, so the first we can not choose too big, if you like backpacking, then we can choose a kettle and gun separate, kettle on the back, the gun is ready to shoot, kettle-type water pistol (high-capacity) range of 15 meters, capacity of 5,000 ml, weight of 1.5 kg, the market price of 35 yuan. If you like to shoot the ladies, I recommend choosing a slightly smaller high-pressure water gun, 2000 type. 2000-type water gun range of 25 meters, capacity 2000ml, weight 2kg, the price of 50 yuan. Men's words, the first choice is certainly a cannon, what is called cannon, the largest 8000, capacity, no need to introduce it, range 25 meters, weight 6kg, price 60 yuan. Children well, that is best to choose a small back pot, such as the shape of a cute rabbit or piggy type, back?6 easy to get water, the volume is relatively large, the price of 30 yuan. Of course, smaller.
After the introduction of the gun, you should talk about the splash convention. This is very important, no rules, we must remember and abide by.
1, it is strictly prohibited to use high-pressure, powerful water gun involved in splashing;
2, it is strictly prohibited to use dirty water, sewage involved in splashing;
3, it is strictly prohibited to the police on duty, photography and video journalists and the old, weak, sick, disabled, pregnant women splashing;
4, it is strictly prohibited to the traveling all kinds of vehicles splashing;
5, it is strictly prohibited to drive the car outward water on a moving vehicle.
Lastly, Kunming Donkey Outdoor will add another one, although we don't use high-pressure water gun to participate in the splashing, but taking into account everyone's personal feelings, in the process of splashing, it is strictly prohibited to use water gun to shoot other people's face and chest, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.
It's not enough to understand this, we also need to familiarize ourselves with the arrangements and routes of the event, as well as the precautions to be taken
There is a water ceremony and a start ceremony every year on the day of the event, which is usually held on the riverside or in a place where there is a source of water. After the water is collected, people from all walks of life and government officials will hold a ceremony at the Water Splashing Square to announce the official start of the water-splashing activities. The time is usually between 9:00 and 11:00 in the morning. Considering the weather and physical condition, it is recommended to go to the Water Splashing Square or the main city after 10:00 am. Because the temperature will be relatively higher after 10:00, in addition, if we have breakfast a little later in the morning, we won't go around looking for something to eat because we are hungry when the atmosphere is the best. Then the whole day, we can choose the route according to their own physical situation, generally not to be missed there are three places, the first is in the Water Splashing Square, because there will be a very spectacular water splashing scene, such as set up in the crowd next to the large fire trucks, they will be in the crowd of people above the constant spray. In addition, there will be Dai people in the square to invite officials to sit on the Dai Wang sedan chair, we can feel close to the Dai Wang sedan chair is not good to sit on how to make our parents "difficult to get off the stage". The second place is the main street in the city center, because there will be a lot of mobile beauty, he is a lot of men chasing the target. In the street we will also occasionally meet with those driving pickup trucks, or even Dongfeng trucks pulling a full truck of water, the high and mighty "fighting" faction, so we can fight with them, enjoy the thrill of the attack. Another place not to be missed is Peacock Lake Park. When we are tired of walking and want to rest, Peacock Lake Park is the best place. Crouching by the flower beds, watching the bustling crowd carrying ** cannons, carrying all kinds of pots and buckets, constantly playing and playing, through the stream, you can feel the joy that has never been there before. Finally, when you look up and realize that the sun is so bright, you will feel the sun in Xishuangbanna is so good.
The best time to splash water on Splash Day is suggested: 10:30-14:30.
Suggested Splash Route: Xishuangbanna Tourist Resort - Manjinglan - Splash Square -New Bridge--Peacock Lake Park--Mengdance Cultural Square--Wind down to replenish the nutrients.
