Is the Songkran Festival in Xishuangbanna closed?

Hello, Xishuangbanna Water-splashing Festival is a traditional festival in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, which is usually held during the Lunar New Year. The festival was celebrated by splashing water, setting off fireworks and playing encouragement, which attracted many tourists. However, due to the epidemic situation in COVID-19, whether the Songkran Festival in Xishuangbanna is closed has become a concern.

At present, the government of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture has taken strict measures in epidemic prevention and control. According to the latest news, the city has banned outsiders from entering. In addition, the local government canceled all activities related to the Songkran Festival, including parades, concerts and fireworks displays. These measures are aimed at protecting the health and safety of local residents and tourists and avoiding the spread of the epidemic.

Although the Songkran Festival in Xishuangbanna may have a certain impact on the local tourism industry, it is most important to ensure people's life safety and health under the current circumstances. It is necessary and responsible to close the city and cancel the activities. We believe that after the epidemic is controlled, the Songkran Festival in Xishuangbanna will be held again to attract more tourists.
