The Water Releasing Festival on Tomb Sweeping Day – beginning of the harvest years

The water releasing festival is scheduled to be held on the 5th of April 2015. The event is considered as a holy festival by the locals and is held on the Tomb sweeping day. This festival is celebrated to commemorate the builders of the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project and as a marking of a new spring ploughing.

If you are a traveller planning to visit the region during the month of April and are seeking for accommodation in Chengdu, you could consider a stay at Somerset Riverview Chengdu a featured hotel visited by many. The ceremony consists of many performances such as the bamboo pole dance and after the message is passed by the official riding a horse the water releasing is set to begin.
