Locals and tourists are getting drenched and loving it in southwest China's Yunnan Province. The Water-Splashing Festival is a centuries-old Dai ethnic group tradition that's gone full-on tropical party. CGTN's Yang Jinghao wades into the chaos in Xishuangbanna, where getting soaked is not just allowed – it's basically mandatory. And as it turns out, all this water is doing more than just cooling people off. It's also heating the local tourism industry.
