HOHHOT, China, June 19, 2025 — A vibrant cultural event, “Musical Tours in Inner Mongolia, Singing and Dancing in Harmony with Hong Kong,” recently took place in Hong Kong SAR. The event, held at the Everbright Centre in Wan Chai, was a collaboration between the Culture and Tourism Department of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Asia Tourism Exchange Center, and China Everbright Bank Hong Kong Branch.
The Wulanmuqi Art Troupe of Inner Mongolia, known as the “Light Cavalry of Revolutionary Art on the Grassland,” performed for the Hong Kong audience. Their setlist included well-known Inner Mongolian songs like Wild Geese, The River of My Hometown, Love for the Grassland, Meeting at the Aobao, and Beautiful Grasslands, My Home, which painted a picture of the vast grasslands and nomadic life. The troupe’s elegant dances and the moving horse-head fiddle performance, Galloping Horses, transported the audience to Inner Mongolia, allowing them to experience the passion and spirit of its people. As a cultural exchange, the troupe also performed popular Cantonese songs such as My Chinese Heart and Love Over Thousands of Miles, receiving a positive response and creating a strong connection between the two regions.
From June 5th to 8th, the Wulanmuqi Art Troupe toured Hong Kong, performing and engaging with residents in Wan Chai, the Eastern District, the Southern District, and the Sha Tin District in the New Territories. In addition to the captivating musical performances, the event included interactive displays of Inner Mongolia’s intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, giving participants a chance to experience the vast beauty of northern China’s grassland and the depth and variety of the local culture firsthand.
As part of the celebrations for the 28th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to mainland China, the Wulanmuqi Art Troupe presented a rich cultural showcase of northern China to people in all 18 districts of Hong Kong SAR. Zhang Dong, Director of the Asia Tourism Exchange Center, stated that this initiative is a significant step in promoting literary and artistic exchange and cooperation between Inner Mongolia and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and serves as an important platform for displaying Inner Mongolia’s rich traditional culture and extensive tourism offerings.
