AKIPRESS.COM - The spirit of Burning Man will come to China this summer, with a six-day event slated for August in Inner Mongolia.

"We're creating Black Rock City in Ulan Buh," said Miao Wong, whose festival credits include dART, which will supervise project planning for this new event, along with the initial editions of INTRO.

Both the event and the organizer will be called Black Rock City.

The art festival will take place August 21-27, and Inner Mongolia's Ulan Buh Desert will stand in for Nevada's Black Rock Desert, which hosts Burning Man.

Ulan Buh is about 250 km from the former imperial resort of Chengde in Hebei province and about 500 kilometers from Beijing.
