The saying in Rucheng County goes that “Cook eggs in hot springs in Rucheng on Sanyuesan (the third day of the third lunar month)”. However, there is far more than that on “Sanyuesan”, which is an important folk festival that has been passed down for thousands of years.

The 10th Rucheng Sanyuesan as well as 2025 Rucheng Hot Spring Scenic Area Tourism Promotion Event will be held at the Hot Spring Cultural Park in Reshui Town of Rucheng County on March 31. A series of folk activities will be presented to bring tourist a cultural journey spanning thousands of years.
Dressed in ethnic costumes, Yao girls will offer door-blocking wine and sing welcoming songs at the village entrance. Besides, boiled peanuts, corn and other seasonal ingredients in hot springs will be provided for tourists. There will also be local delicacies such as steamed duck with rice flour, Yao cured pork, and fern root ciba.
Tourists will also perform the bamboo pole dance with Yao boys and make ciba on the site.
The original ecological folk songs, vibrant dances depicting scenes of farming, marriage, and other daily life, and other programs will be staged.
These folk customs preserve ancient wisdom and rejuvenate through festivals, attracting numerous tourists every year.
