In Yunnan, China, there is an interesting festival called the Water-Splashing Festival. It is one of the most important festivals for Dai people in Yunnan. It is Dai's New Year. It usually begins on April 13th and ends on April 15th.
The first day is called “Mairi” in the Dai's language.
The second day is called “Naori” or “Kongri”. The first two days are the beginning of the festival. People there have a traditional Dai's barbecue. There is a lot of dancing too. In the afternoon, there is a dragon boat race on the Lancang River. At night, there are a lot of lanterns near the river.
The third day called “Bimai” is the happiest day in a year. It is New Year's Day of Dai people. On the day, people are dressed in beautiful clothes. They sing, dance and splash water on each other with buckets from the morning to the evening. Dai people think water is lucky. It means the best wishes for the new year. Anyone is welcome to take part in the festival, enjoy the water and have fun with the friendly Dai people!
