On the Inner Mongolia grasslands, ethnic Mongolian women are more confident and living in better conditions while their own cultural characteristics are vigorously promoted.
Nearly 30,000 women in Hinggan League, North China s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, have gathered to learn and pass on Inner Mongolia s intangible cultural heritage like embroidery and paper cutting art, embracing a more colorful life.
Combined with rural revitalization and quality education for farmers and herdsmen, local authorities have actively engaged in the development of traditional Mongolian handicraft skills, exploring ways for local ethnic minority women to work from home in low season and make a profit with their special technique.
