The opening ceremony for the Winter Nadam Fair of Inner Mongolia autonomous region took place on Dec 23 in Hulunbuir, with traditional ethnic performances, equestrian shows and a motorcade of camels happening as outdoor temperatures plunged to about -25 C.

The traditional Mongolian festival -- whose name “nadam” literally means “entertainment” or “recreation” in the Mongolian language -- features horse races, wrestling matches and archery contests.
