We know that water-splashing festivals will be held all over Yunnan recently, among which the water-splashing festivals in Xishuangbanna and Dehong are the most famous. So which one is better? Today, Xiaobian will introduce you to these two Songkran festivals! Songkran Festival in Xishuangbanna

In order to make your songkran trip crazy, beautiful and dazzling, let's watch a video first, and let's enjoy the Songkran Festival and integrate into the world famous tourist city.

Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture is one of the 12 hottest tourist destinations in the world and a tourist city in China to avoid the cold. There are many scenic spots in the territory, such as Tropical Botanical Garden, Dai Garden, Primitive Forest Park, Manting Park, Wild Elephant Valley, Mengling Buddha Temple and so on. It is known as "Animal Kingdom" and "An Emerald on the Crown of Plant Kingdom".

I suggest you arrive in Xishuangbanna on April 12th, and attend the welcome party of "Happy Festival" in Splashing Water Square that evening, so as to appreciate the enthusiasm and customs of 13 ethnic groups in painting. After the party, you can choose a characteristic hotel, have a good night's sleep, keep your spirits up and welcome the soft time the next day.

on April 13th, the carnival opened and the whole people celebrated. During the day, the celebration and rush-out activities at the viewing platform on the Lancang River will definitely open your eyes. At the same time, you can also participate in the dragon boat race on the Lancang River and feel the Dai water culture of "one river connects six countries";

In the evening, the activity of "Pray for the World and Let Ten Thousand People Put the Kongming Lantern Together" on both sides of the Lancang River was full of stars and photos, which was infinite in beauty. In addition, there is a Banna concert by Summer in Splashing Water Square in Jinghong City, which gives you a glimpse of the voice and grace of "Black Beauty".

On April 14th, the national folk culture tour and the "Thousand-petal Lotus Fairy Tale" exhibition in the main streets and lanes of Jinghong City, in the name of historical humanities and national customs, told you why, national is the world!

on April 15th, there will be important activities during the day and at night. During the day, we look forward to your active participation in the praying and chanting ceremony and the splashing carnival in the splashing square by the Lancang River. Get wet once and be happy all your life, so that the Songkran Festival will be your most beautiful memory. In the evening, the final event of the 219 national intangible cultural heritage project "Dai Elephant Foot Drum Dance" was held in Splashing Water Square to reproduce the legend of Xishuangbanna dance music.

What is particularly striking is that from April 12 to 16, the activities of the Water-Splashing Festival venue were equally splendid. The "Man PARK Super Pendulum" in Manong Jinwan-the rainforest creative market, the international customs show, the starlight camping, the "Buddha bathing ceremony" in the Dai Garden, the traditional display of the street culture in Manting Park, the patrol of the Dai King, and the blessing of the general Buddhist temple will all give you super feelings and experiences. Dehong autonomous prefecture is the hometown of beautiful peacocks, cucurbit silk, Chinese jade wool city, Munao Zongge town, Oriental jewelry city and Chinese coffee town. There are scenic spots such as Yizhai and Biguo, Ruili River, Mengbana West Rare Garden, Shubaota and Mengbana West Rare Garden.

The prelude of China Dehong 219 International Water-splashing Carnival kicked off on April 1th. On that day, mangshi will greet guests and friends from all over the world with "Motorcycle Music Festival". On April 12th, the opening ceremony of the Water-Splashing Festival, the awarding party and so on will set off the climax of this water-splashing festival.

from 13th to 19th, Jiegao will welcome the "Ruili, Jiegao First International Duty Free Shopping Festival".

Dehong Water-splashing Festival is the biggest and grandest traditional festival for the Dai and De 'ang people, and it is also a grand gathering for people of all ethnic groups to unite and get together. In the world of water, people laugh and splash blessings. The spilled water is auspicious water and happy water. In festivals, everyone is a "wet person" when walking on the street.

On the whole, the Dehong Songkran Festival is better from the historical and cultural point of view. If it is lively and modern, the Songkran Festival in Xishuangbanna is better. Let's choose according to our own interests!
