This summer, Dunhuang's tourism and performing arts scene is booming.

One of the highlights is the Ancient Sound of Dunhuang, the world's first cave-style immersive drama, created by the Gansu Performing Arts Group. The show tells the story of Bai Xin, a young man from the Western Regions of ancient China, who discovers the essence of music through Dunhuang's ancient murals.

By blending visuals, sound, movement, and interaction, the production recreates the splendor of Dunhuang's music, dance, poetry, and murals. Audiences can explore a vivid cultural landscape, which has been praised as a "living" Mogao Cave No 736.
