Although Temujin offers to renew his friendship with Jamukha, the latter asks for death, saying there is room for only one sun in the sky, and one lord for Mongolia.

"We performed the show in Jeju island in South Korea from 2008 to 2012," says Uurtsaikh, 39, who is the head of the equestrian team Khaadiin Khaan, which means king of kings.

Together with other Mongolian horsemen, Uurtsaikh and his team performed for Chinese President Xi Jinping, during his state visit to Mongolia in 2014, and received high praise from Xi.

The following July, Uurtsaikh's team was invited to perform in Hohhot.

Chen Jun, the manager of the Shenquan ecological park, then watched the performance and was also impressed by the team's equine prowess.

After negotiations, Chen introduced the performance to the park.

"The show promotes a cultural exchange between China and Mongolia," says Chen. "And we are trying to find more opportunities for the show."
