Ulan Muqir serves Inner Mongolia farmers, herdsmen for 67 years

North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, which covers 1.18 million square kilometers, is home to unique art troupes known as Ulan Muqir.

The first Ulan Muqir troupe was established in Sonid Right Banner, Xiliin Gol League, on June 17, 1957. Now, the entire region has 75 troupes.

Their performances may include songs, dancing, and acting. They move from one grazing site to another, performing in some of China's most remote areas.

Over the past six decades, generations of Ulan Muqir members have performed over 400,000 shows, traveling over a million kilometers.

Since 2018, starting June 17 each year, Ulan Muqir art troupes across Inner Mongolia have engaged in month-long public benefit activities. With 75 troupes conducting over 8,000 performances annually, they bring art to every corner of northern China.
