The delegation traveled to the Huawei Cloud Data Center in Ulaanqab, also known as the "Prairie Cloud Valley", and a major hub of China's digital economy. They explored the Ulaanqab's achievements and future outlook in big data development. 

This core city of Inner Mongolia's big data industry has been advancing the application of big data technologies since 2013. In 2021, Ulaanqab was approved as a national hub node for the Integrated Computing Power Network. Since then, it has seized opportunities presented by the rapid growth of AI models, optimizing its computing infrastructure and promoting integrated computing applications. 

Through developing "Prairie Cloud Valley", the city has been transforming green computing power into productivity, becoming a key engine for digital innovation in China.

The Ulaanqab City Art Museum also invited the delegation to an exhibition to appreciate exquisite calligraphy, paintings, and photography. Members interacted with local artists and tried Chinese calligraphy themselves, deepening their understanding of China's cultural heritage.
