An art group from Inner Mongolia recently wrapped up their performance with rounds of applause and cheers after eye-opening shows for the audience at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto, Canada.

More than 1,500 performers from the Hohhot National Performing Arts Group staged classic dances including The Beautiful Prairie is My Home, demonstrating Mongolian ethnic features and unique local cultural elements during the annual Chinese New year gala in Toronto.

The event, hosted by Canada National Television (CNTV), has been held for five years. It has been the most representative and influential extravaganza for the Chinese community.

Canada and China enjoy strong ties and are looking forward to further strengthening their relations. As 2018 has been proclaimed as the Canada-China Year of Tourism, the gala is expected to attract more Chinese tourists to Canada.
