Banna notes from Xishuangbanna I've been to more than 10 years ago, I feel not enough thoroughly enjoyed themselves, that is a holiday in July, the Banna's "closing festival" In the future, what festivals are all stopped. In April this year, I met a wonderful holiday, ready to use this time to re-take the Xishuangbanna, save enough effort and very much love to feel a Banna Water-splashing Festival.
Thursday, April 8 Yin Chengdu wide alleys son never thought so many people go to Kunming. Early in the morning, we rushed to catch on to the Chengdu North Railway Station, he was told the conductor, and only this evening on the ticket, day tickets have been sold out. This is a blow, Zade us disoriented, not knowing how we go. Seeing from the Water-splashing Festival drawing near, more and more time went to Xishuangbanna tight, slightly worse on the road late, Songkran will slip away from us, all the plans are wasted. We do not have time to delay, and out of the house resigned bar, night shift car on the night shift car!
With one day unexpectedly idle, it just to see the old Chengdu wide alley, alleys child.
Sightseeing trip to Chengdu, a lot of places, except the wide alley, alleys son did not go to, intends to make it to the next and then the reasons, but God has chosen not to such an arrangement. Width lane road in the vicinity of Qintai are two sites with a history of nearly a century and has retained the elegance of the old market in Chengdu, where you can see both the high dignitaries Hui-Shen Yuan door, you can also see that ugly cold civilians tile homes. Coincidentally, the alley is still home to two old people in Chengdu, into Shenxiang years, suddenly fell back in time a hundred years ago, everything is so warm and peaceful, if not the alley on the car horn screaming, I really do not know is now Ho Sai. Dubbed the width of its lane, the width refers to a different street, in fact, also in the 12 meters width difference. Carries a simple street names of the original flavor of the Ancient Street Zi.
Two ancient streets, being more and more people love and favor, especially overseas friends, to travel from a passion for friends in the wide alley spent 20 million brought in an international youth hostel, here becomes foreigners who home in Chengdu, and a fascination with their home.
Ancient Street, historic houses, the ancient inhabitants of the house constituted a width alley a unique landscape, can not be split among too close, losing either side will undoubtedly be a deficiency. Be, unfortunately, is taking place here. Government should proceed with transformation of these two streets, the street retains its original appearance, but they want to stay here for generations are moved very far away, living in an old alley, and to separate from its owner. Residents find it difficult to accept this reality, in the alley, they passed paste posters, organizing a poster, writing poetry to express joy. One poets to write poetry a lot of missed alley to alley and their own financial order one, he said in the poem, (alley) the vague shapes of a century kind, happy time, each side wall are all printed with his old a different figure ... ...
Left, several players are being measured to carry out investigation on the historic houses, one can imagine, and soon after, where everything will change.
I want to thank God, and leave me and gave me a day free, so I finally read an archaic Gumao about to disappear.
... ...
9 pm on the train, this train tickets have been sold out, but still under a lot of empty seats, we each lay on a chair asleep. Think of the morning is not going to buy this train is simply baffling!
April 9 Tuesday sunny train bound for Chengdu, Kunming, 2511 second car to go one night a day, 9-time all spend a full day tour of the train. Train to × × × station was noon time, to make a phone call at home and continue southbound.
This afternoon, while away a journey very quickly, because there is a mission of older workers sitting opposite us. He Jiangsu, with my fellow, speaking in an accent, especially talkative, a typical feature of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were. He was sent to plant maintenance equipment in various places, and their company called × × machinery and equipment companies, according to him, where they wage income of workers is very low, only a few hundred dollars, he was a few in order to bring in more money, 58-year-old he perennial road warriors, in order that all the salaries and bonuses can be left home, while they themselves live by that point in travel grants. His current from the × × × place out of a single person went to Guizhou × × place to maintain the equipment. Station in Kunming after his transfer to the × ×, I watched him in silence slightly hoarse gaunt figure import crowd, ... ...
Will go to terminal, there were a female conductor to consignment to Jinghong's bus ticket, I have asked about, afraid something has gone wrong and decided to get off in person to the South Terminal to understand the kiln car situation. Piaofan the way to the terminal struggle goes on, it really upset. To the bus terminal and found that tickets had been sold out, after some look, some together, they listened to fellow bus passenger briefing, bought tomorrow 7:40 to Jinghong to tickets.
Terminal out, we take the 50 bus to the chrysanthemum village was already 21 o'clock before, three measures written into the bus shop, immediately go to this far away from the "bridge of Yunnan Garden" bridge noodle eaten. This is like a long time, and on the greedy people, Kunming, and the bowl of noodle far from temptation.
From last night to now, the way much haste, people rush, really tired, and returned three measures, a bath to sleep early.
Sunny on Friday, April 10 in Kunming shopping, shopping and woke up to heaven and earth bright exceptions, opened the curtains, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau touch of sunshine, suddenly I feel very warm.
God is too kind to us. Because it is tonight's car, we not only can save one night's accommodation, but also the beautiful Spring City Guangyi Xia. South when the people in shopping centers in Chengdu, called Pathfinder promising a sleeping bag, asking price 315 yuan, is the price after the Jiuzhe did not buy it, ready to look at the Kunming market.
In Kunming, stroll the few blocks, there is no meet and Italy, and came to the former Dorset Sports Mall - now a fashionable commercial buildings in the spring, visiting a lap down, almost, I am disappointed, not just the price of your favorite style is not too far off the mark, do not intend to buy them. Suddenly there is a sporting goods store across the street, I have lost interest in re-visiting the wife pulled me to see, he did not expect this view, indeed the need to buy something - two beautiful envelope-style sleeping bag, in addition to buy an inexpensive wind and rain style beautiful shirt. With these things much more convenient for travel on.
How time flies really fast, blink of an eye the day passed. We decided in advance by dinner, or a noodle, or "bridge park." After dinner, went to the South kiln bus stations, from the 19:40 departure there is more than an hour, so that his wife waited at the station, I buy a ball-point pen dent Dongpao Xi. 2886 second car began to check-in, and pen do not buy, maybe Jinghong do not need to write this sub-Laus, there are newer weapons.
We took the South Korean Daewoo car, from Kunming on the Kun-yu come out on the highway at 100 kilometers per hour has remained about the way to overtake, like flying in general. Outside the window the night and fog, a lamp lit by high-speed road stretch into the distance, the end is the Xishuangbanna.
April 11, Xishuangbanna Jinghong sunny Sunday at dawn, cars traveling in the tropical rain forest in Xishuangbanna, looked through the windows, luxuriant gray Mimizaza of virgin forest being enveloped in a thick morning mist. After a bumpy road, after bad, over a toll station on the road began to get better, I know that going to Jinghong.
7:40 to Jinghong South Terminal. The car, a tropical rain Lint, some moist air immediately wrapped us up and feel like being a hot and humid to the coated towel, and have a one day only to cope.
Now the arrival of April 13 is the Dai Li 1366 Spring Festival, which is Songkran. Songkran approaching, hotels tensions, the price turned over the somersault to the rise, now, a little decent hotels have been ordered an empty, the remaining conditions are poor, the price is not low. We are looking for hotels a lot of time, into the urban areas to find a very primitive conditions, a small hotel, the registration number to write to settle down.
Hostels come out to the street, the heart is not filled with joy returns to visit (10 years to come before), but an unspeakable feeling.
Jinghong set foot on this piece of land, to see the full high-rise buildings, the city's characteristics are gradually disappearing, it becomes a little disappointed in mind up to the trip to Mann Hall Park, the disappointment of the increase. Memory Road on both sides of the scenery is very beautiful, green trees set off the Zuozuo bamboo house, people contend from the music, the air was filled with the smell of food Dai, any person who walked the Blue Man King are all relaxed and happy. Today, there is no unique Zuozuo uneven mess filled with road construction waste on both sides, all the shops, blindly barbecue makes this street and the Mainland on the street is no different. Park was still there, a bit less friendly, by a number of commercial indifference, there is not much of the garden, is 30 yuan, much拒人于千里之外feeling. I am extremely Xin Liang, and his wife too, we are disappointed to the extreme, so that going to, to leave, Songkran, but the.
Braved hot sun walking on the street, to trace the shadow of the past, hoping to get a little mind for herself. In the farm market, saw an old Aunt Dai, eat the Dai authentic sticky rice, purple rice asked, then I am referring to a very distant to have sold; as long as the taste of authentic, possession, he does purple rice rice. This banana leaf wrapped in a white sticky rice gave me a lot of comfort. Journey of fatigue, coupled with Banna's scorching, we feel some discomfort, feeling confused and afternoon rest a moment, regaining strength, mood gradually brightened.
We went to Golden Beach fun, tomorrow will be dragon boat race held here. At dusk, the golden beach night markets, we found a love of nuns who opened a barbecue when they eat a meal is not a very authentic taste of Dai flavor barbecue, drank some beer with his wife, was slightly Jiujin smoked with, to the a new bridge over the Lancang River Station, flying out the faint hint of joy.
At night, Cultural Palace Square, voices, singing and dancing and Wind, we were attracted here. Stroll the square, visitors waves, especially in small shops selling fruit platter, Guys and Dolls, filled with fashionable young Zhang tables packed into a shop can not be pin, staffing a toothpick, a colored fruit feast license to eat special food, and a look of elation.
Looked at them, I feel good follow up, fade away, even though it passed, with a better life to the people are constantly walking.
Monday, April 12, see cloudy sunny side of the Lancang River in Xishuangbanna, the dragon boat race this afternoon opened the Songkran activities of the regiment.
Noon before, Lancang River sunshine, people from all over to come here, there is far behind the domestic tourists come, there came a foreigner traveling at sea, more then a daughter, dressed in Dai. The most striking is the Dai women, they are everybody Huazhizhaozhan, repair body curvaceous, dazzling, Meirutianxian. Lancang River Dragon Boat Race is not only a sporting event, but it is no exaggeration to say that was a Dai woman Bimei competition together at the same time from the same place countless beautiful women, beautiful flowers, colorful, it really spectacular, Ren who also can not imagine the southwest border of the motherland so much as a brilliant place.
Dragon Boat Race 2:00 pm start, but the beauty uniform manner to the public on a dragon boat ride, the atmosphere suddenly become active again. Splashing water, slapstick, playful, laughter continuously, unlike in the game, inverted image is doing a fun game. Dai's dragon-boat race half of the race by half performances, to the cheerful atmosphere, winning or losing is not important, even Mingluosunshan, but also in conjunction with winners like singing shouting all the way to go home happy.
Dragon Boat Race is the first to row a dragon boat show. Each team in turn will be dragon boat upstream to the river crossed out, and then in turn rapidly drawn from upstream. Racer are co-percussion, to cite one mind off the paddle pulp, the ship skirted the surface of the Ru Jian Li Xian. After the performance ended, all the dragon boat on the shore are homogeneous knot, with a gunshot Tengqi a green signal flares, the long-awaited dragon boat race began. Two pairs of a group, in the old chant of the waves, and this percussion, public camel, if a man struggling to come across from the other side, technology falls behind the poor less than they laid aside the shallow shore, technical good, all the way lead to less than Yaner tendency dragon boat washed ashore, the shock of the audience have scattered.
Dragon Boat Race, when the cheers have not yet cleared the streets seeking the float began a tour of the dress rehearsal. Moving songs, the craft slice pairs square dance, and singing and dancing to the music coming. Tomorrow, the official show began to go back and raise enough to look at the spirit of tomorrow.
As night fell, the Lancang River dim down the earth to restore the calm river gold beach barbecue night market with the visitors coming up very prosperous. Smoke-filled snack stand, fragrant; Amusement ago Yourenruzhi, laughter continued. Night markets flow surging, bustling, locals, foreigners, handsome guy Way We Are, children and senior citizens, alone, friends ... ... 35
Ping ping pong pong sound keeps shooting game. In a sheet the size of the cloth Zhuiman rows of colorful balloons, with the sequential shots instantly blown off from the balloon. As business was surprisingly good, the boss wasted no time in heading for the target hung balloons, busy HAPPY. The stuff used in the Mainland has already disappeared, here is also playing hot, incredible. The corner of the garden, where a gun rack, a group of people around the cannon in the shooting, thud, muzzle in front of the iron has been knocked down, the crowd greeted with cheers. Beer retailers have come to Couqu, in the night market entrance and Riverside Avenue swing-up of the ring, drinking beer competitions, who can finish in the shortest possible time, the number of liters of beer, free entertainment, another donated a case of beer, booze's boys packed into booths, have approached it a try. The girls did such a pride, they are in twos and threes to pick on a table and sat down at one point called the feast of fruit on the one hand slowly, one hand lightly whispers.
Breeze blowing gently, blown away the day's heat, sent bursts of pleasant cool breeze, Golden Beach has become exceptionally charming romantic.
April 13 Tuesday morning, the rain Jinghong parade float parade activities. Chiba breakfast, went to peacock lake, where is the sea of people. The crossroads of the lake surrounded by the people packed the adults the child physically assemble a wall along the highway on both sides of the tall wall. I would not help cursing their slow play, how would never have thought in advance to square up accounts for a seat? Is yesterday, today we march do not know?
The teams parade came, and an instant way of people on both sides of the thick wall more closely together, I am 1.78 meters of the head, went tiptoeing can only see the actor's head, his wife, petite, a block wall, Han also say nothing to see. We suddenly had an inspiration, climb up a car before to see the parade in style. However, the days do not happen to the Greek Village So-Lo Mass started to rain, the parade of the team stopped. Perhaps a little rain makes the wall with the cracks, and perhaps that Taoist wall itself has changed less than many think, to take this opportunity, and we hastened to get off, they must attack first, and even squeeze with drill, actually stood in the front row, one of the best viewing position. But at a steep price - spent a lot of film.
Parade of the team consists of a different matrix composition, matrix on the floats led by singing and dancing along to the music. Actors are people of all ethnic groups living in the Banna, school students, and the literary and arts organizations. They dressed in strange costumes gorgeous, slowly advancing along the Bangladesh泐Avenue, attracted a lot of eyeballs. In the procession of the most notable fact is that walking in the front ranks of minority square, dressed in exotic costumes dark skin pull Kou, Jino actors, with the original flavor, and holding bamboo lighthearted beat out the primitive rhythm, the dance steps slowly and moved forward, such as the city is blowing in the breeze Yi Gu mountain. Love nuns were the most delicate features of the square, color ornaments simplified moderate, showing love nuns were tranquil and the pursuit of life. Dai Banna of the Han is a large population, and their phalanx can be described as wide ranging, which represents all aspects of Banna. In the team, the most profound significance is the old square, in their square, the focus on displaying the Dai all aspects of life, from diving to the firewood a wife, mother, from household chores to the field of labor, points, bit by bit to have to show out. Old friends in a lot of effort. Most innovative is the Banna youth art troupe girls boys, clothes trendy open, green tone, wearing a worn rattan leaves, displaying the original time frolicking in the bedroom, filled with the wild rugged beauty of bold, to push the procession to the climax.
... ...
Guandeng evening, which today is another activity.
Night, while peak and visitors crowd packed the Lancang River. We eat too late, eight more people go with the riverside walk, this time unable to reach the river bank, only with a new bridge on the Lancang River Guan Deng. Unexpectedly, this is indeed a rare place, where looking up mid-air, Sky Lanterns dim slowly upward in a group, flying gradually becoming smaller, the final integration into the dark backdrop Lane; down overlooking the river, a river red and green lights light scattered, patchwork, sparse evacuated to pull into line, with the Jiangliu go the distance, like a string of drift of the Tsai-chu, embraced the Lancang River.
Wednesday, April 14 Qing Gan Lanba ethnic customs Park last night began, visitors suddenly increased, the streets of Sierra Leone is overflowing, with bustling, are filled with people Maibu Kai legs.
Past decade, Jinghong City, expanded a lot, but only a small town the size of the mainland, all of a sudden came 10 times in the usual people, town seemed overwhelmed, and we also feel overcrowded, eager to find a quiet place to .
Today's festival activities are put in time, I do not participate, and choose to Ganlan Ba to avoid a flood of visitors.
About 10 came to Ganlan Ba. 10 years, where great changes have taken place in the streets from one to several, the new building replaced the Dai bamboo house, but also to replace the road on both sides of farmland, the U.S. pool, green trees, beautiful scenery disappears Ganlan Ba depleted of. Ji-man Hall Road, disappointment, I am deeply disappointed that once again, why our development must be at the expense of the environment as the price!
Tourists have suggested that the same car I went to "national style garden" look, there is also relatively well-preserved bamboo house, man-made artificial landscapes, I always do not like it, until a tricycle driver told me that the garden is surrounded by five natural village, everything retains its original appearance, This aroused my interest into the park, and told him to pull us in the past.
Tricycle has pulled our national park central square. Here are two performances each day, the morning show has just ended, at 3:00 pm after the show, and we use this time to stroll the village, the Dai people to find a way to eat in the lunch.
Walk through Zhaizhong, bamboo house, Baita, Buddhist temple hall familiar imprint of the past can still be seen, but not as good as the memory of the natural landscape, adding to a number of man-made deliberately seeking something, any thing as long as deliberately seeking, and it will lose the natural color.
There are five villages in the Dai park, we went to earlier this fort is said to be a Cantonese first settled here, engaged in a feminist zaiyang work, Dai He later married a girl, they settled in this and later come to a number of Cantonese, there gradually became a village. In the village to see a young man, with a heavy Cantonese accent, I asked him where, he said the Dai people, ancestors Cantonese. Now they have completely Dai-oriented, and his arm tattoo symbol of the mighty men Dai Qing.
In the villages where walking, suddenly the one hand that read, "Yu Yue Dai Mei Garden" billboards attracted our attention, this is not what we are looking for but do not find that one. Some of our ecstatic.
The way in the coming Banna, Banna the same car to work a friend told me, Songkran, Banna went to live in poor accommodation Ganlan Ba Yu musician, and the telephone number to me. As Jinghong stay there, and do not intend to go live Ganlan Ba, there is no referring the matter to heart. However, in Jinghong for a few days, with the holidays approaching, turned over, like turning to the crazy house prices up, so, we played to the idea of Ganlan Ba ready to live jade musician, 15, had finished Songkran, from there to leave. Telephone book to find out, the telephone dial in the past, the other answer is an empty number, dial in the past, or an empty number, so even the dial several times. No. She had either changed, or I am wrong, is not known. 1 no two endlessly, first broke into there to say.
The morning, I collect luggage, his wife went downstairs to check out the total station. After all Tingdang, the wife happily back, talking about haggling with the owner of the case. The total station attendant, said she was with, where has been for a few days, and housing prices rise every day, today's prices and then leave the check-out. The lady hurried to consult the boss and finally to half-price concession. Do not have to live Ganlan Ba, and we saved a lot of trouble.
In the Manga Village accidentally discovered the Dai-yu music taste Park, Zuzu De appreciate the one what is "worn out shoes in fruitless searching, have come to totally waste of effort," unexpected feelings. Come up with a phone book to see, damn! Mistakenly put a "4" written "1", and then blame the driver when the lights I can not remember phone numbers.
Yu Le family's yard with a semi-new bamboo house, downstairs has been turned into guest rooms and restaurants, the couple lived upstairs, guests for a long time, you can live upstairs. Floor side there is a small parking lot, Yu Le Chang family has a van parked car there. Yu Le couple a very hard working, upstairs, downstairs every corner of big sweep clean, and give the guests a very refreshing feeling.
Yu Le Couple 40 away, looks like point of view, but one can not think they have a daughter who is working in Kunming. Only in the Chinese Lunar New Year, when his daughter came back, usually on a couple at home, perform household forward to the shop. Yu Yue's husband, almost all out sports car, from the King Hongla guests to come back. Store things on the music by jade RBI, not enough experienced staff when their relatives came over to help. Yu Le couples gentle warm towards people and good and clean, so the store's business particularly good, as we set aside prior to the subsequent several guests, most of the globe.
We visited their bamboo house points, finished the meal, taking time out to visit the pagoda, encounter a 68-year-old Beijing for the elderly, a decline of the iron to the old non-photography enthusiasts, and we fall in love, love the same, chatting on the side of the road up. For the elderly is a radio factory technician, now retired, and fond of photography, life savings were spent to buy equipment on the hands, is a high-end cameras, the value of more than 40,000 yuan, while also carrying a backpack several cameras, and high-end photographic equipment, in sharp contrast to the elderly a dowdy dress. The elderly little money, save a little bit of money out of photography, not having enough money on the approached the place, more money to travel a bit. Every time the elderly are both made a lot of preparatory work, time, location, festivals, trips and even the best shooting angles and residence time are planning to offer a clear picture. What is "prudently," I know today, first time this has been the image.
It's no wonder, to a limited number of old money, to maintain their life was the will to come out engage in photography, he was too hard! Looked at the back of the elderly to leave, I just used the phrase camera is too precious, and the road take care. Psychological heavy for his blessing, praying peace.
Bid farewell to the elderly, he come to see a pagoda, when, jade music husband told us to go back for dinner, that scenario as much of a home. After dinner and then read the pagoda, and other villages. Walking in a small village on the road to see bamboo house remains the same, set off a bamboo house in the orchard is not enough dense, sparse, reveals a sense of a poorer than before the decline. I was comforted with his heart, said the height of summer vegetation may flourish more.
Jiaoyangsihuo, people have almost baked-oriented, and seat to the music and dance hall, a glass of iced lemon drink can not tell people there are comfortable.
A great song and dance arena, the stage is a big platform for the former standing in the water, connected to the platform and stage, making a spectacular scenes and tremendous performance. Song and dance performances are based on the Dai folk tales and historical legends, known by the state professional art director, directed the design, so performance with professional standards. Performance for the high tide, more than 100 colorful costumes Dai girls cited in the graceful poise on the platform a pair of co-authored a wonderful fountain dance music, such as water-stemmed red lotus in bloom. Dai's dancing gentle soothing, beautiful and moving, very aesthetic; Dai girls grace graceful everyone in America if the angel. Performance is not over, it attracted many beauty-conscious men refused to take a civil and courteous to run power to go stand in fairy side, big whichever is King.
Dai dance to forget the wonderful time of the flow away, until the host announced the commencement of splashing water, we only remember the following highlights of a stall, have gathered fresh water pool. A group of Dai girls and tourists, holding red pots of green bowl to the pool a stop, as soon as host shouted: "Water poured into the sky, Fuk down from the sky." Gongs and drums rang out, spray everywhere, the sky crystal clear one. People playing in the water splashing heartily, forgetting self, put down the shelf, Doukai the mood, like a child-like playful fun with the Fun. I think this may be where the charm of Songkran, it makes being in a great carnival.
Thursday, April 15 experienced a clear Jinghong splashing water carnival Ganlan Ba Dai splashing water park, today ushered in a grand Jinghong Dai Water-splashing Festival in 1366.
Early in the morning, in time for the luggage before splashing water on the existence Qichenanzhan, 19:30 back to Kunming, tickets have been bought in advance.
Station out of the major hotels along the way see the front of the hotel are many people gathered, holding basin bowl, lightly to throw the play. Accordance with the provisions of 12 noon to 5 pm for the splashing time. Because less than splashing time, people's mood has not yet been aroused.
When I was hiding behind the argument came to Jinghong Cultural Square, I heard, "his clothes still dry!" Not wait for me to understand how matter, flying in all directions over the water begins with an instant, we, like everyone else became La Tangji. 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 have cautiously come to pool, has given rise to a burst 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 to crack down on street by street to splash wherever he went were defeated, opponents can not find direct immediate concern is filled up, thunder out to do.
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, became a landscape. Normally, tourists will see a blank stare, mouth Zhang much, festivals, will take this opportunity 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.
Splashing the most popular tools are high-volume spray guns. 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 wild girl!"
The most spectacular splash in Jinghong military sub-splashed playground. We came to the parade cited the military sub-district playground, organizers finished his speech, gave an order, the fire trucks parked in the playground corners, under the control of a few officers and men, hobble around in the water cannons, go full steam ahead to the crowd " wild 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. On weekdays when all the solemn opening of the head of their identity, the body has been splashed with water, her bottom was Britain sedan with hand constantly Wu Zhao, but also constantly stretched over bamboo stuffing into a red envelope, red envelope Cypriot finished, the water splash survived anxious chair Britain had become more severe, until he (she) has to work out a red envelope from her somewhere in the past, or by the secretary handed him a stack of envelopes to give up before it was snapped up. Side down, over there a group of women again Buyiburao Huazhizhaozhan the floor of the Dai, the Health and pull to get him on the living pulling his sedan chair, as usual, splashing water, Britain sedan chair, singing, should be a red envelope. Until all of the 11 villages before, gang leaders will be free, just like everybody else in order to reach for basin splashing water carnival, but they almost have been almost completely fall to pieces by shaking.
17:00, Xi Chen sun shine with excitement the day Jinghong city, splashing water on the activities of the basic end, Jinghong is still immersed in the joy of Songkran atmosphere, with such a cheerful atmosphere, I having left to leave the beautiful Xishuangbanna.
Cautionary, in Kunming on the way to go, we have this train quite well. Soon a car in Jinghong, a native of Henan old became very sick and kept shouting stop looking for the toilet. She pulled all the way even the spit with the car stop-go, in large kaihe Checkpoint also checked for a long time, and later vehicles have something wrong with angry drivers, the car repaired in the Mojiang not gone, that morning, 6:00 start. At this point, we are on the road have already taken the eight hours, but not even half of the road have not yet come.
