Visitors to Beijing World Park on Saturday reveled in a water-splashing fight, as the curtain was raised on a water-splashing festival which will last until the end of next month.

 

 

Joining patrons were visiting Dai people from Xishuangbanna in southwestern Yunnan Province, where water-splashing is an annual tradition. There were also some Zimbabwean and Ukrainian performers on hand, dressed up in traditional clothes to celebrate the carnival.

 

 

Date: July 14 to August 31

 

Place: Beijing World Park, 158 Fengbao Lu, Huaxiang, Fengtai District.
