Features of the Naadam Conference.
After the competition at the Naadam Conference began, the riders lined up, all wearing colorful belts and colorful scarves on their heads, full of youthful vitality. Various brightly colored flags were placed at the starting and ending points of the horse racing. As soon as the horns were blown, the riders would fly into their saddles, whip their horses, and red scarves would fly like arrows. The first five to reach the finish line become the most praised athletes on the grassland. Archery, wrestling and other competitions also attract many herdsmen.
