Part 6/9:
In the lush lowlands of Yunnan, among the Dai people, another vibrant aspect of the province's cultural landscape emerges. Celebrated for their rice cultivation and unique beliefs surrounding water, the Dai host the famous Water Splashing Festival. A lesser-known yet equally significant event is the Holy Fish Festival in Mangyan, which combines traditional fishing competitions with deep-rooted legends about sacrifice and renewal. The annual event culminates in a ceremony marked by the release of lotus lanterns, symbolizing reverence for the past and hopes for the future.
