Yunnan Family Fun Without Compromise | Experience Both Water Splashing Festival and Torch Festival

| Experience both the Water Splashing Festival and the Torch Festival. Chongqing is too hot 🥵, so we brought the kids to Kunming to escape the heat and started our Yunnan family trip. This time, we took her to Colorful Yunnan Happy World. Why didn’t anyone tell me earlier that this place is so much fun? Besides various exciting rides, there are nearly a hundred performances every day. You can experience the customs of 25 ethnic minorities in Yunnan in just one day. Kids can also enjoy both the Water Splashing Festival 💦 and the Torch Festival 🔥 at the same time. Water Splashing Festival during the day, Torch Festival at night—truly fun from morning till night. After experiencing it firsthand, here’s how to enjoy this summer carnival season in the city of ethnic performances in Yunnan at Colorful Yunnan Happy World: ► Water Splashing Carnival Battle 📍 Wanxiang Tribe, Wanxiang Square ⏰ Two sessions daily at 13:35 and 16:30 No kid dislikes playing with water 💦. How can you come to Yunnan and not experience the Water Splashing Festival? Join the Dai brothers and sisters for some interactive splashing fun! The kids went wild playing. Remember to bring a change of clothes and slippers 🩴 for the little ones, or dress them in raincoats and bring water-splashing gear! ► Nightly Torch Festival 📍 Four Seasons Flower Sea • Kunming Lake ⏰ Starts at 20:30 First, watch the "Fire Dance Colorful Yunnan" water night show by Kunming Lake. Be sure to arrive early to get a good spot. After the show, join the ethnic performers dancing and jumping around Kunming Lake. Then light your torch. The entire lake is surrounded by people holding torches 🔥, like a fiery dragon encircling Kunming Lake—truly spectacular. ► Ethnic Carnival Parade 📍 Main Loop Road of the Park ⏰ Saturdays and Sundays at 15:30 (randomly scheduled on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays) All ethnic performers dance and parade with floats. During the parade, there’s water splashing and water balloon tossing interactions, and everyone is invited to dance along 💃🏻. ► Endless Performances Check in at one spot to see performances from 25 ethnic minorities in Yunnan. From the opening welcome dance to shows at seven themed areas throughout the park, you can experience the colorful Yunnan ethnic culture in one day. Every show is wonderful, and after each performance, there are interactive games where you can win small gifts! ► Must-See Large-Scale Performances Yunnan Ethnic Song and Dance Collection "Colorful Yunnan" and the large-scale live stunt drama "Ancient Dian Chronicles." ► Ethnic Performances Shows like "Tea Horse Song," "Climbing Knife Mountain and Crossing Fire Sea," "Dulong Bull Dance," "Echoes of Jino Mountain," "Manchu Princess Dance," and "Bouyei Style & Hui Folk Song" are all highly recommended. 🧡 Tips ✅ Check the schedule for each performance and activity and plan accordingly. ✅ If you have kids, renting a stroller will save a lot of energy. ✅ Yunnan’s weather is changeable—sometimes rain, sometimes strong sun—bring a jacket and umbrella. ✅ The park has plenty of food, snacks, and drinks, so no need to bring your own. We had lunch and dinner here. ✅ We stayed at the Ancient Dian Resort Hotel in Colorful Yunnan Ancient Dian Resort Area, which is very convenient for hot springs and park visits.
