Can province on the tenth day of the first lunar month. The ethnic identities of locals are shown through performances of numerous traditional games and competitions such as wrestling, racing and dancing. The most animated and original activity is a boat race on the lake.
Young girls row while men steer and follow the beating rhythm of a drum.
Behind the boats, water tails out into white foam forming dragon tails and cheers and applause echo across the lake. Another activity is con throwing, an activity that matches young men and women together. Five-coloured con balls fly back and forth through a ring hanging from the top of a hoisted shaft of bamboo. The boy or girl catching the con ball from the other side must meet the thrower in order to exchange secrets of their hearts while alone together. Many young couples have become husband and wife through this practice.
