Man intangible cultural heritages celebrated in Hohhot schools
A series of cultural events were held in Hohhot's elementary schools to celebrate China's 11th national Cultural Heritage Day on 11 June.
Hundreds of pupils took part in some Man ethnic minority's intangible cultural heritage activities they'd learned at school.
In recent years, Man elementary schools in Hohhot started to add more aspects of Man's intangible cultural heritage to their curricula, including paper cutting, traditional clothing, sports games and dancing, to enhance students' awareness of them and their popularity.
