Three Mongolian yurts from Xilingol League, stand on the lawn square of the campus. The yurts are full of utensils and food, all from the local area to display the lifestyle of herders. Students could taste unique Mongolian food in the yurt and enjoyed Mongolian folk long song and morin khuur music. Many Students know about Inner Mongolia through books, television and the Internet, while there are few activities like this firsthand experience. It was a wonderful experience to the students, hoping that these precious intangible cultural heritage can be preserved and carried forward.
