Third of March 三月三

The Shui, close relatives of the Buyi and a very small group in Yunnan, celebrate their main annual festival on the Third of March with a song festival held in the small township.

If you are going, accommodation in Gugan is all but none-existent, better stay in nearby Weishe across the border in Guizhou (yes, it is a filthy dump and yes, the weather is bad there)

Next event: 12 April 2013 in Gugan, Fuyuan County
