The water-splashing festival is regarded as an important part of the New Year celebrations of the Dai ethnic group in Yunnan province. People splash water on one another during the festival to wash away all the bad luck from the previous year and begin a new year of happiness and good fortune. The festival activities also include dragon boat racing, bathing Buddha statues, reciting scriptures, peacock dancing, and white elephant performances. Check out the video for more!
