The Inner Mongolia Museum showcases the vast northern borderlands' ecological changes and cultural development. 

The museum portrays Inner Mongolia's history of continuous interactions, exchanges, and blending between Central China's agricultural ethnic groups and North China's nomadic tribes over generations. 

The delegation showed a keen interest in the museum's exquisite exhibits. Under the guidance of professional interpreters, they appreciated each exhibit's historical significance and cultural depth. They also used their phones to record their favorite cultural relics.
