The Inner Mongolia autonomous region is gearing up for its grand summer Nadam festivities, scheduled to take place in various cities starting from July 14, as announced by the region's culture and tourism bureau. Traditionally translating to "entertainment and games", Nadam is a vibrant annual event that unfolds during the months of July and August, drawing locals and tourists alike.

In addition to the main event in Xilinhot, three distinct Nadam celebrations are slated to captivate audiences in Baotou, Hinggan League, and Ulanqab city, while five "Daily Nadam" events will be hosted in other leagues and cities for public enjoyment.
