A mud carnival themed “Wandering in the mud island” kicked off in the Xiushan (China) Mud Themed Park on Xiushan Island in Daishan, East China’s Zhejiang province on July 14. 

Tourists joined happily in mud games such as a gunfight in the mud, as well as flower-themed activities on the beach, and enjoyed performances including a music festival and a flash mob of local intangible heritages. 

Xiushan Island, a province-level wetland nature reserve with thousands of shallows, is dedicated to creating its own cultural brand featuring mud activities and establishing itself as a flower town to boost local tourism.
