The Dunhuang Grottoes, a millennia-old cultural treasure trove of ancient art, are now digitally preserved. Since the 1990s, the Dunhuang Academy has spearheaded digital preservation efforts, establishing vast digital archives. In recent years, partnership with Tencent has given rise to many innovations such as an open resource library, a Dunhuang animation series, and games, allowing the world to experience the beauty of Dunhuang.
