Inner Mongolia Ulan Muqir Art Festival shines on grassland

Adding exciting cultural fun and frolics to the grassland, the ninth Inner Mongolia Ulan Muqir Art Festival officially kicked off in the Horqin Right Wing Front Banner of Hinggan League – located in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region – on Aug 8.

The festival is scheduled to last eight days and run to Aug 15.

Ulan Muqir means "red bud" in Mongolian and the art troupe travels from one site to another, performing for herdsmen who live in some of China's most remote areas.
