Cian Cui Festival
Cian Cui Festival is originally an annual tradition of the Chinese descendants in Selat Panjang (Panjang Strait) to celebrate Chinese New Year. Today the tradition becomes the intercultural festivity celebrated by other ethnics such as Java, Minang, and Malay communities, as well as attracts international tourists from neighboring countries. All domestic and international tourists participants were joining the water splash war using water guns, buckets, and scoops, sometimes even using a water compressor machine to splash each other along the 4 kilometers route from Kartini street, to Imam Bonjol, Ahmad Yani and Diponegoro streets. The festival also includes some religious practices such as night prayer in the Buddhist shrines, jazz festival, lantern festival and then followed by firecrackers and fireworks. Do you want something special for your next vacation? Immerse in the atmosphere and be prepared to get soaking wet in the area of the Cian Cui!
