STORYLINE:

A series of cultural events promoting northwest China's Qinghai Province officially kicked off in Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia, on Thursday.

Co-organized by China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Chinese embassy in Mongolia, the Chinese Cultural Center in Ulan Bator, and other organizations, the events, titled "Happy Spring Festival-Beautiful Qinghai with Mountains and Water Sources," aims to strengthen cultural exchanges between China and Mongolia.

Shen Minjuan, Chinese Ambassador to Mongolia, who attended the opening ceremony, emphasized that Qinghai is known as the "source of mountains and rivers." She described the province's majestic, steep mountains, which are the origins of the Yangtze, Yellow, and Lancang rivers.

"There, people and nature coexist harmoniously, multi-ethnic cultures blend and thrive, and the economy and society flourish," Shen said. "Qinghai is a microcosm of China, reflecting the nation's inheritance and development of traditional culture and the achievements of Chinese modernization."

The event also showcased Qinghai's intangible cultural heritage, including embroidery works from the Tu ethnic group, such as leather embroidery, Pan embroidery, Regong thangka, and filigree painting. These works were displayed at an exhibition during the opening ceremony at the Chinese Cultural Center in Ulan Bator.

Additionally, guests on the scene enjoyed Qinghai's folk songs together and felt the charm of intangible cultural heritage.
