Dance extravaganza flaunts national cultural diversity

This group of Mongolian dancers take to the stage at China’s 7th Ethnic Culture and Art Festival, something of a hometown performance given the ethnic group largely calls Inner Mongolia autonomous region home. Mongolians are well-known for skill in horsemanship and archery thanks to a pastoral lifestyle that developed over the past centuries. Nadam, a grand Mongolian fair, is usually as the prime festival showcasing the region’s historic stylistic customs including Bohk (Mongolian wrestling), horse parading, and camel racing.
