Discover Mongol Culture in Xinjiang Through Music

Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang – Forget everything you thought you knew about #RemoteAdventures. The windswept prairies of Xinjiang just hosted a cultural mashup you’ve gotta see to believe!

Last week, journalists from 11 Arab countries swapped their press badges for morin khuur (horsehead fiddles) during a lively exchange with Mongol performers in northern Xinjiang. The vibe? Think Beyoncé meets throat singing – but make it multicultural.

Local artists showcased jaw-dropping performances blending traditional long songs with intricate dance moves. One journalist joked: \"This is better than Coachella – and way less crowded!\"
