The Organizing Committee (Mongolian Circus Association) has selected more than 30 unique, diverse genres having signature styles of each country. The Vietnamese troupe attended two attractive performances named "Moment of Love" (double leather swing) and "Cycle of Passion" (patin).

This is also an opportunity for the Vietnamese troupe to learn about professional experience and skills in organizing an international circus festival. With an average annual temperature of -1 degrees Celsius, Ulaanbaatar is famous as the coldest capital in the world. These early winter days, the temperature sometimes drops to -10 degrees Celsius ~ -15 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the Vietnamese troupe faced many difficulties in practicing.

However, Vietnamese artists have tried to adapt, and actively practice to accomplish the set goals. In addition, the host country's organizing committee also pays special attention, thoughtfully arranging transportation, accommodation conditions, as well as stage techniques to ensure maximum comfort and safety for the troupe.
