|Mang City | Come experience the authentic Water-Splashing Festival in April!!! ||. Mang City | Come experience the authentic Water-Splashing Festival in April!!! ||| 7 days and 6 nights☁️ First stop of the Yunnan trip——Mang City🥭 During my seven days and six nights in Mang City, I fully experienced the unique charm of the Water-Splashing Festival and also appreciated the local customs of Mang City. Here is a summary and reflection on my trip. 📍Two-day and one-night travel itinerary in Mang City: 🚩Day 1: Visit Menghuan Golden Pagoda and Menghuan Silver Pagoda, a 10-minute walk away. Along the way, I encountered local ethnic minorities distributing their special mixed noodles, which were delicious and warm! In the afternoon, I participated in the Water-Splashing Festival activities held in the Dai ancient town, where the central square was lively with a DJ shouting and rapping! In the evening, I tasted the delicacies of the food city and the Xinwan Factory night market, personally preferring the Xinwan Factory night market! 🚩Day 2: In the morning, head to the Hongxing Market to enjoy the local breakfast and buy Mang City's special fruits for the return trip. Then visit the Bodhi Temple and Tree-Wrapped Pagoda. The local driver told us that the Water-Splashing Festival in Mang City lasts for several days, and each village will hold its own festival. Today happens to be the day of the Water-Splashing Festival in Pine Tree Village, so we decided to go and visit. 📍The Water-Splashing Festival banquet in Pine Tree Village is held at noon, and we asked if we could join, and the local villagers warmly welcomed us. If you are too shy to join the banquet, the nearby Pine Tree Village farmhouse is also a good choice. After lunch, we experienced the Water-Splashing Festival ceremony in the village and felt the real fun of the local people's Water-Splashing Festival. 🔑Tips: The Water-Splashing Festival starts when the sun rises at noon, and no matter where you walk, you will be splashed with water. You just need to happily accept these blessings! Remember to close the windows tightly when taking a taxi, so you won't get splashed! The Water-Splashing Festival ends when the sun sets, and the activities will gradually come to an end. This trip to Mang City left a deep impression on me. Whether it was the mixed noodles distributed by the local ethnic minorities, the invitation from the villagers of Pine Tree Village to join their banquet, or even the acts of kindness along the way, I felt the human care of the people of Mang City. This unexpected touch is something I will never forget.
