Inner Mongolia shines as guest province at Silk Road Week

That evening, the "Inner Mongolia Night" gala and awards ceremony for the Silk Road Digital Museum campaign further captivated audiences.

Gai Zhiyong, deputy director of the Inner Mongolia Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, shared stories behind four exquisite artifacts, revealing the deep intercultural dialogues that once took place on the grasslands. Performances such as the horsehead fiddle ensemble Haimuri and the songs Tianbian and Vast Grassland brought the cultural spirit of northern China to life.

"We hope this opportunity will help showcase Inner Mongolia's cultural treasures to the world and promote greater awareness of the region's rich heritage," Gai said.

Throughout the Silk Road Week, Inner Mongolia will continue to engage audiences through various activities. Cultural experts from the region will participate in forums such as Guardians of Silk Road Civilization: Museums and Cultural Heritage Dialogue. A special exhibition area at the China National Silk Museum will feature creative cultural products from Inner Mongolian museums.
