Ulanmuchi, a song and dance troupe from Inner Mongolia, has played a key role in the spreading of Mongolian ethnic culture and arts for many years.

Founded in 1957 on the Mongol grasslands, Ulanmuchi now has expanded to 46 small ensembles, with over 2,800 singers and dancers. It has taken part in various events both in China and abroad.
