23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Water-splashing competition.

I traveled to Xishuangbanna in Yunnan, China, and during the trip, I saw local ethnic minorities celebrating the Water-Splashing Festival. There was also a water-splashing competition to see whether the Elephant Team would lose or the Peacock Team would win.
