THE town of Selatpanjang, capital of the Meranti regency, in the Kepulauan Riau (Kepri) province, comes alive with the Water Splashing War tradition in the first six days of the Chinese calendar. The local Chinese call this tradition Cian Cui, which has become one of Selatpanjang’s main attractions for tourists and local residents.
#CianCui also attracts tourists from other Asian countries including Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and China. People throw and splash each other using water guns, buckets and scoops or even by water bombs from becaks, motorcycles and passers by. As the event now attracts many international tourists the government has increased facilities to accommodate the rising number of visitors to this event.
