Monihei Carnival Square
摸你黑广场
The main venue for the county's festivals, where the annual early-May Monihei Carnival features mud smearing and Wa dances.
The Sigangli Monihei is Cangyuan's best-known festival. It usually takes place around May 1. Visitors and villagers smear each other with mud mixed from medicinal herbs as a blessing. Other activities include wooden drum performances, hair-swinging dances and bonfire parties. Monihei Square is the main venue. In normal times it is a civic plaza, and people often dance here in the evening. A cultural and sports center with a theater is nearby. During the festival, bring clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and book accommodation in advance.
