Tongliao is one of the birthplaces of Mongolians. There are three famous narrative folk songs (Han Xiuying, Dana Bala and Gadamerin) and thousands of short-tune folk songs in Horqin Grassland.
Tongliao is mostly a pastoral area, with Mongolian and Han nationalities in the majority. Mongolians are generous and like to drink and eat meat in a big bowl. It is essential to drink and eat meat in a big bowl during the Spring Festival. Because of their geographical location near the three northeastern provinces, their daily diet is similar to that of the three northeastern provinces and the local Han nationality. ?
