"Cameroon and China lie thousands of miles apart, but the moment the morin khuur
strings begin to play, all that distance dissolves in their vibration," said François
Tchiegue, an ambassador for China-Africa cultural exchange, in Ordos, Inner Mongolia
Autonomous Region, on September 5.

François Tchiegue made the remarks while taking part in the "Warm City • Together
with the World" 2026 Ordos International Cultural Visit Program. What struck him
most was the 2026 Ordos Cultural and Creative Industry Brand Promotion Week, a flagship
local event showcasing the city’s cultural and creative sector.

He said he was deeply impressed by the morin khuur performance by artists from the
Ulan Muqir troupe of Wushen Banner. "Within the dancing notes live the vast grasslands,
the crisp clatter of horse hooves, and even the subtle aroma of milk tea and wild
grass — the music holds the very essence of the prairie."

Lawrence Wang, an American international student, was equally captivated. He kept
his phone raised the entire time, unwilling to miss a single moment. When khoomei(
Mongolian throat singing) resonated like a deep, earthy chant, he described it as"
the most enchanting sound in the world." During the intermission, he shared the 
clips with his parents back in the US — and in that instant, the breeze of the grasslands
seemed to drift all the way across the ocean.

Margot Chevestrier, a French expert on the visiting delegation, said she was touched
by the unfiltered joy on the dancers’ faces. "Everyone was dancing with all their
energy and laughing freely. That kind of vitality is incredibly contagious." Beyond
superb craftsmanship, she saw in the dance the innate forthrightness, sincerity 
and wholehearted warmth that define the people of Inner Mongolia.

Sofia Feoktistova, a Russian international student, discovered another layer of 
delight in the performances. "Our people are also known for song and dance, but 
the dance performance _New Era_ completely reshaped my understanding of Mongolian
dance," she noted. The innovative choreography has infused traditional steps with
contemporary flair, and the vibrant spirit of the performers left her with a lasting
impression of Ordos as a place both steeped in history and brimming with youthful
energy.

Throughout the week-long event, international guests experienced folk performing
arts, digital cultural creativity and local specialty products. These immersive 
experiences are forging bridges of mutual understanding, giving visitors from afar
a vivid, firsthand glimpse of Ordos’ dynamic cultural identity.
