In tune with old melodies along the legendary Silk Road, the immersive drama "Ancient Sound of Dunhuang" vividly brings the millennium-old Mogao Grottoes to life, luring its audience to embark on an elegant, interactive adventure into the splendid culture of Dunhuang by featuring a spectacular display of mesmerizing dances, musical instruments, costumes and so forth – all rooted in the northwestern Chinese desert-oasis city's time-honored murals and manuscripts. 

Lying in an oasis at the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, Dunhuang stood as a major hub along the ancient Silk Road, and has been hailed as a place that blends the essence of Chinese and western cultures with its much-cherished Mogao Grottoes, ranking as one of the most renowned treasure troves of Buddhist art in the world.
