The light and shadow hall covers an area of 125 square meters. With the help of 3D lightscribe technology and dozens of 4K ultra-clear devices, more than 200 re-paintings of the Dunhuang Grotto murals are available to audiences in an immersive viewing experience.

A static exhibition area was also prepared to display replicas of some of the missing works, including "The Sutra of Contemplating Amitayus" and the "Five Hundred Robbers in Buddha Karma".

Different from the previous exhibitions, an interactive area is added, themed with the "nine-colored deer", a spiritual who saves a Persian merchant from drowning in a river.

Tourists are expected to reveal the mysteries of the Mogao Grottoes from a variety of perspectives, such as the shape and structure of the grottoes and the lingering charm of the stories conveyed by the murals.

The exhibition, sponsored by China Cultural International Tours Inc and the China Cultural Tourism and Creativity, will be on display until May 7, 2023 in this city.
