A 16-year-old girl just crushed the coconut climbing race at Hainan's "March 3rd" Festival, also known as Sanyuesan Festival. Her time? 17.36 seconds up a 7-meter tree. Quick, steady and seriously impressive – this traditional sport brought major energy to celebrations in Dongfang. The "March 3rd" Festival, observed on the third day of the third month in the traditional Chinese calendar, is a vibrant celebration that holds immense cultural significance for the Li and Miao ethnic groups living in Hainan Province.
