The Haibei-Shandong cultural exchange event, which lasts from Dec 6 and 13, offers Shandong audiences the chance to explore the folk culture of the Haibei Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Northwest China's Qinghai province.

Performers from Haibei will stage shows involving morin khuur music, Tibetan opera and folk songs in Shandong cities of Jinan, Weihai, and Linyi.
