Mojiang International Twins Festival, Puer
Cultural History
Origin of the Festival
Located on the Tropic of Cancer, Mojiang County is situated in Pu’er City, Yunnan Province. It is an important stop on the tourist route in southern Yunnan and a must-pass way to Pu’er and Xishuangbanna. Known for its titles as the “Hani Homeland, City of Return, and Home of Twins,” Mojiang is famous for its high twin birth rate. The county is home to over 1,200 pairs of twins (and triplets), earning it the reputation of being the “Home of Twins.” The legendary “Twin Well” in Twin Town attracts many newlywed couples who come to drink from its waters.
Since the inception of the International Twins Festival in 2005, ten successful festivals have been held. This year, the “11th China Mojiang Tropic of Cancer International Twins Festival and Hani Sun Festival” will take place in Mojiang County, Pu’er City, Yunnan Province.
