Water Splashing Festival is so boring, who would go?

Sisters who want to come to Xishuangbanna for the Water Splashing Festival💦 this year, hurry up! As a water splashing enthusiast‼️, today I will share the travel guide for the Water Splashing Festival with you,🌟come and save it! 📅Water Splashing Festival Time in 2025: April 14-16, 2025 🔥April 14 (all day) There will be festival warm-up activities in Jinghong city/along the Lancang River, and some villages will have market fairs and ethnic song and dance performances. 🔥April 15 [09:00-10:00] There will be a traditional blessing ceremony at the Lancang River water fetching platform - the water fetching ceremony [11:00-16:00] Water splashing battles will be held in the Water Splashing Square/main street. The main venue is the Water Splashing Square, and there will be an electronic music water splashing party in the Gaozhuang area. [20:00-22:00] Tens of thousands of people will release sky lanterns at the Jiangbian Viewing Platform/Dragon Boat Square. At that time, the night sky will be full of sky lanterns. 🔥April 16 (all day) You can continue to splash water in places such as the Starlight Night Market and Jiangbian Night Market. There will be special food and cultural experience activities in the night market. ✅[Evaluation of the three main battlefields] 1️⃣Gaozhuang Xishuangjing⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ▪️Must-play: Tens of thousands of people dance "Dai Di" together, float parade ▪️Tips: The Starlight Night Market turns into a water splashing battlefield after 18:00! Remember to bring a waterproof mobile phone case 2️⃣Lancang River⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ▪️Highlights: Traditional dragon boat race + high-altitude fireworks ▪️Hidden gameplay: The Dai-flavored barbecue with beer by the river is amazing! 3️⃣Dai Nationality Garden⭐️⭐️⭐️ ▪️Features: Original ecological village blessing ceremony ▪️Note: It ends at 4 pm, so go early ✅Transportation recommendations Fly directly to Jinghong Gasa International Airport. Hotels generally have free airport pick-up. You can also fly to Kunming and transfer to the high-speed train; for internal transportation, it is recommended that you sign up for a local tour in advance, because the passenger flow in Xishuangbanna during the Water Splashing Festival flagship is very large, and it is almost impossible to get a taxi. ✅Food recommendation Be sure to try the lemongrass grilled fish🐟, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, as well as pineapple purple rice, which is sweet and delicious. In addition, pounded chicken feet and Lao coffee are also local specialties, so don't miss them. ✅Water splashing essential list: 1. Waterproof mobile phone bag (be sure to prepare a good waterproof one) 2. Quick-drying clothes (wear dark colors, light-colored clothes will be transparent when wet) 3. Sunscreen (bring a good waterproof one, the ultraviolet rays in Yunnan are very strong) 4. Water gun or bucket (can be purchased at the water splashing site) 5. Slippers (be sure to buy non-slip ones) ✅Notes on splashing water ❗️Splash water in a civilized manner, try not to splash the elderly, women and children ❗️Do not splash water on the other person's eyes and head ❗️Make a travel guide in advance, and book hotels and tickets in advance ❗️Respect local customs and the culture of the Water Splashing Festival ❗️There is a large flow of people during the festival, so keep your valuables safe 📸Photo tips: - Take street photos in the morning when there are few people - Capture dynamic moments when splashing water - The lights in the night market are super beautiful - Rent a Dai costume for photos Finally, remind everyone: Be sure to book your air tickets and hotels in advance! The price will really skyrocket!
