This year's April 11, I came to the beautiful state capital of Xishuangbanna in Jinghong. Experienced Ganlan Ba Dai Park splashing, April 15, 1366 ushered in a grand Jinghong Dai Water-splashing Festival.
Morning, luggage storage at the Qichenanzhan, bought the evening 7:30 to Kunming tickets. Come out from the station, see the front of the big hotels gather a lot of people, holding basin bowl, lightly to splashing water.
Then less than splashing water starting time, people's mood has not yet been aroused.
When I was hiding behind the argument came to Cultural Square, but also understand how no matter, all sides will fly over the water, suddenly, we become like everyone else Luotang Ji. Are often billed as a look, saw plaza fountain splash pool peak and visitors crowd, like a jet rolling boil a large pot. People, pool outside the part of the pool as part of the outside try to steal the water, inside, patrol the water, the two sides throwing yelling.
I am also not contain himself myself withstand water spray on the jumps in the pool, and also whether or not he (she) who, at a stretch mad splash. After me, the pool infiltrate an alien elements - female compatriots, and suddenly blown up camp, male compatriots Qunqiergong while Meng splashing while screaming: "thrown out." The female compatriots, fun-really big, how do you splash any, just do not go out, so that fellow men do nothing. Just then, suddenly, a group Huazhizhaozhan pool of small cloth whistle, everyone shines and found the target to throw too scared little cloth whistle call out, Bao Zhuotou around. Within a short while they are also careful to come to the pool, but also attracted a while mad splash, call out the run away, disappear without a trace.
Foreign female tourists worse than the small cloth posts, carrying his pots to mention a bucket holding a gun (gun), and fellow men, you are throwing over, I poured in the past, you shoot my shot, I go back to your shot, not a Jin-Guo Let excelling in their profession's heroic.
Better to stick with the pool is filled with enjoyable stroll, I was running the streets. Splashing water here is more exuberant.
There stood the roof poured, there is poured from the windows yard, there is poured in the streets; have referred to the bucket splashed, a holding basin splash, there is Duanzhuo Qiang shot, it holds all the tap pouring; a chase splash, there is expel a splash, there are clutching pouring; a gently splashing, there are wild places poured, there take the lead poured, there is sweeping the head and face; a stand in the car poured, there is riding a three splash; the Xianren Jiu poured, there is lug people throwing; a splash from the front, there is poured from the rear, there is poured from the left, there is poured from the right side; a walk poured, there is guarding the junction splash; a pull force poured; are fighting each splash. Old splash, small splash; men splashed, splash woman; people splashing and throwing foreigners. Is filled with passion, spray great success, Huan stopped.
The most flamboyant than three foreigners. They do not know from where did you get a tricycle discuss the car a big tank full of water, plastic barrels, one horse, two people squatting on board, throwing all the way to go all the way, happy was unspeakable.
The most spirited was standing on the truck throwing. Shop a watertight compartment inside a truck plastic sheeting, note a car full of water, everyone look inside a station, she began to pour. Water, at the foot of that is, people, looking down from above limelight out to do. To crack down on street by street to splash wherever he went were defeated, straight until the immediate concern is filled with can not find opponents.
Most prominent is the girl pouring. In particular, Huazhizhaozhan of Dai girls, tights with the barrel skirt, holding a flower Zhisan anywhere a stop, slim, vibrant, it becomes a landscape. Normally, tourists look at two law straight, mouth Zhang much, can take advantage of Songkran festival presumptuous one, why not. So male visitors, whether young or old as long as the posts to see beautiful little cloth and immediately found the target, like wolves, disorderly rushed forward, burst of fierce pursuit and interception thrown. Exclaimed with a smile ran a small cloth whistle, do not air in no hurry, as if to pick one on the water. Encountered severe post a small cloth, throwing her anxious, Daizhe to offenders is a burst of hot pursuit, the man scared beyond belief to flee, prompting everyone burst into laughter.
The most popular tool is the large-capacity rip splashing water gun. People use pots poured an unfulfilling, she bought at a water gun filled with water to add a little gas in her arms, aimed at visitors a one point of killing. For a time the streets men and women, young and old women have become EU members. Even those who are holding a quiet and pretty girls in the sea in the charge forward, was not a wild side, that scenario I am afraid even to take her mother to be one: "This is someone's a girl!"
The most spectacular splash playground in Jinghong subdistricts splashing water. We came to the parade cited the military sub-district playground, organizers finished his speech, gave an order, stopping at the playground corners of the two fire engines and a few officers and soldiers under the control of hobble around in the water cannons, go full steam ahead to the the crowd "crazy fire." Immediately spray playground great success, rain-soaked. The officers and men and the interpretation of a military and civilian visitors splashing water situation.
The most painful and happy to be the number of local party and government leaders. Playground in the military sub-district, 11 villages in the Walled their own sedan chair rack, dancing around him singing, splashing Britain sedan chair to ask for a red envelope. The leaders head was splashed with water, her bottom was Britain with hands constantly Wu Zhao, also turns to bamboo to come to give the stuffing a red envelope red envelope plug is over, Britain had become more powerful sedan chair, the water splashed survived emergency, until the secretary handed him a stack of red envelopes before it was let it go.

Until all of the 11 villages before, gang leader was only open up. They almost have been almost completely fall to pieces by shaking.
