On our way from Lancang to Mengman we were suddenly in the middle of a Chinese celebration. Two groups in their traditional costumes were playing music and were singing. It was so interesting that we stopped cycling for a while and kept looking what was going on. Unfortunately and due to our lousy Chinese we still have no clue what this celebration was about.
However the people were lovely! They tried to explain what was going on, they gave each of us a bottle of water and we even got straw hats, because they figured that we aren't used to the strong midday sun :)
