Dai Ethnic Group's Mass Water Splashing Festival-Yunnan's Most Participatory Traditional Festival

※Click "cc" on the lower right menu to choose your subtitle language.
This is a festival I'm all too familiar with. Every year, we revel in the water-splashing festivities, which is not only a traditional festival but also a way to let loose. On this day, we can all live like children. Wearing Longji, picking flowers, bathing the Buddha, releasing river lanterns, and feasting on ethnic delicacies so we have the energy to pass on the blessings of splashing water. May we be safe and brilliant, and may our wishes truly come true: may everything be wonderful!
Hello, everyone! I am Dianxi Xiaoge, a Yunnan native. If you enjoy my videos, please keep subscribing to my channel. I'll continue to share my life and Yunnan-styled food in my uploads. Wish you have a happy life and enjoy tasty food every day

I'm from Myanmar. For these years, we can't celebrate Thingyan(water festival) well because we can't happy enough in these days. Our country is under the control of military. Thingyan is the representative festival of Myanmar. I hope we can celebrate happily water festival in future days of country without the military government.

I got confused. I am South East Asian, and thought they were Burmese. They looked Burmese than Chinese.

[@caje-s9657]

@@anxioushellcat6075 Yes, the way they wear and the food they eat are very similar with ours traditional things. Some of their dress look Burmese and Shan of Myanmar. Actually I was surprised when I saw first time of theirs. I think they are from Yunan and then we are so closer in border line of countries than other China's State. So may be long long time ago, since we are Buddhism, we look similar in most of traditional issues.

what an interesting documentary about the dai water splashing festival! this water splashing festival is also the new year for both dai and its similar groups like songkran in Thailand and pi mai lao or the Lao New Year in Laos. it is usually celebrated every 13 to 16 April and it's the time when many people travel back from the big cities to their hometowns, just like the chunyun period in china for the Chinese new year. the floating lotus lantern festival on the riverbanks reminds us of the Loy Krathong festival in Thailand.
