The festival will last for a month, during which tourists can experience exciting activities such as horses galloping, archery, bonfire parties, afternoon tea, etc. The scenic area will also provide free suits of armor and other costumes for tourists to fulfill their heroic dream on the grassland.
 
“This event allows tourists to immerse themselves in various grassland activities, experience the charm of the southern grassland, understand and inherit traditional grassland culture, which is also the main purpose of this festival,” said a manager of the scenic area. “At the same time, we combine the unique grassland scenery with the classic scenes in the television drama of “Princess Pearl” to evoke the memories of a generation of youth and endow the scenic area with more cultural significance.”
