"Sainshand city is located at an important node of the ancient tea road. Today, the province is also located in an important position in the Belt and Road Initiative and the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor, and is the frontier and demonstration of China-Mongolia exchanges and cooperation. Therefore, organizing the exhibition and related activities here has both historical and contemporary significance."

The exhibition, sponsored by the Chinese Consulate General in Zamiin-Uud and Dornogovi governor's office, and organized by the Chinese Cultural Center in Ulan Bator, will last until July 5.
