The event took place at the Huhenuoer scenic zone of Chen Barag Banner, where regional ethnic groups including Mongolians, Manchus, Ewenkis, and Daurs performed a folk gala for locals and tourists.
In addition to the performances, tourists also enjoyed winter sports and entertainment including snowmobiles, traditional Mongolian wrestling, archery competitions, horse sledding, and a bonfire celebration.
From Feb 8 to 9, Inner Mongolia held the First Regional Tourism Promotion Conference in Hulunbuir to introduce local grasslands scenery and traditional culture to attract tourists.
