How to Visit
1
Decide whether you are here for villages or water
If your goal is only the water-splashing event, you can keep the route short. If you want the full park, use the sightseeing car and village stops.
Tip:This choice controls how much time and money you need.
2
Use the sightseeing car for the wider route
The park covers several Dai villages. Ride to a farther stop first, then work back through temple, village, peacock, and river areas.
Tip:Ask about stops before handing over a ride coupon.
3
Visit Manchunman Temple and village lanes
Balance the splash plaza with quieter lanes and temple areas so the visit is not only a water-fight stop.
Tip:Dress respectfully before entering temple spaces.
4
Prepare properly for water splashing
Bring a change of clothes, waterproof phone pouch, towel, and simple sandals if you plan to join the afternoon sessions.
Tip:Rental gear inside can cost more than buying simple items outside.
5
Leave time for the return to Jinghong
Buses are cheaper but less flexible. A private car is easier if you stay until late afternoon or travel with children.
Tip:Confirm your return before the water-splashing crowd leaves.
Highlights
- Large Dai village-based attraction with daily water-splashing sessions

Insider Tips
