Twelve diplomats and experts from nine countries including Malaysia, Russia and Italy visited the exhibition hall of intangible cultural heritage in Hohhot on Aug 4. They viewed a performance of the morin khuur, a string instrument decorated with a horse head-shaped top, and inspected the Mongolian ethnic group's cattle hide boots. The manufacturing of both are listed as cultural heritage. The visitors also went to a local ethnic art theater and paper-cutting museum to learn more about local culture.
