Follow the Textbook "Unforgettable Water-Splashing Festival" to Xishuangbanna

【Introduction】: The 17th lesson "Unforgettable Water-Splashing Festival" in the second-grade Chinese textbook of the People's Education Edition tells the story of the happiest and most unforgettable Water-Splashing Festival of the Dai people in 1961, which was held in Manting Royal Garden in Xishuangbanna. In 1961, Premier Zhou Enlai and the people of the border areas celebrated this grand national festival together. Manting Royal Garden, also known as Manting Park, is the oldest park in Xishuangbanna. It used to be the royal garden of the Dai King of Xishuangbanna, covering an area of more than 400 mu. The park is divided into several themed sections, including the Red Culture Square, Royal Garden Cultural Area (Royal Lotus Garden, Royal Orchid Garden, Leaf Garden), Folk Culture Area, Royal Elephant Cultural Park, Iron Knife Wood Forest Area, and Ethnic Song and Dance Performance Venue, showcasing the two main themes of "Dai Royal Culture and Ethnic Culture". ⛺【Tips】: There are no sightseeing cars in Manting Park, so you need to walk the whole way. Be prepared if you are traveling with children. The song and dance performances in Manting Park have fixed times and limited shows. The park is beautiful, so there are many people taking photos. Compared to other attractions, the park is relatively less crowded. The exit of the park is the Zongfo Temple, which does not require a ticket. It is recommended to enter the park from Manting Park and then enter the Zongfo Temple. Otherwise, walking against the crowd will affect your experience. 🧡【Tips】: Zongfo Temple has special requirements for women's clothing. Those with exposed shoulders, midriffs, or legs are not allowed to enter. If you plan to take photos in Manting Park, it is recommended to visit Zongfo Temple first and then Manting Park.
