The first time I participated in Naadam, I (previously) didn't know what Naadam was, but this time I knew what Hada, Naadam, and Grassland are three glasses of wine. The galloping horse and the equestrian show are really amazing. Being able to have several people on the same horse is an unexpected shock. I love you very much (Inner Mongolia), I love the prairie.
[Explanation] At the opening ceremony, Eji on the grassland dedicated the pure white milk to the sacred longevity sky, praying for the grassland and the people; in the Hada phalanx, the simple grassland herdsmen held the blue Hada and sincerely invited the five continents Friends and friends; in the Leleche phalanx, Leleche, the mobile home of grassland herdsmen, carries the long-standing Mongolian culture; the mighty Mongolian horse team is running to show the nomadic feelings of the horseback nation.

This Nadam also means games and parties in Mongolian. It is an annual event on the grassland that we must hold. It represents our prairie people's wish for the good weather and a better life for us.
[Explanation] It is understood that this time Naadam will last for a week. There will be traditional Mongolian horse racing, archery and wrestling events known as the "Men's Three Arts". At the same time, there will be related activities such as costume Naadam, Dairy Naadam, Naadam Carnival Night. Through various forms, enrich this entertainment event for herders, while inheriting the unique Mongolian customs.
[Concurrent] Deputy Head of the Right Front Banner of Xing'an League
No matter what level of Naadam it is, it will have Sulide who sacrifices to our Naadam. This (is) Naadam is a heritage of Mongolian customs. Because this inheritance cannot be lost, even this year, in such a complicated and special environment, our grassland, our Ulan Maodu grassland, is still in good weather, with abundant water and plants. This year our animal husbandry industry has also achieved a particularly good harvest. Under such circumstances, our herdsmen have such a desire, so this year the Naadam will be extremely lively.
