Join us on a journey through a night market in the city of Dunhuang, northwest China's Gansu Province. With the city's exquisite and rich culinary and historical heritage, CGTN reporters guide you through a journey to sample local specialties and explore intricate handicrafts – an embodiment of Dunhuang's thousand-year-old culture, situated at the crossroads of civilizations. We introduce you to some of the most authentic Dunhuang cuisines, such as stewed mutton with pancakes, colored noodles with specialty donkey meat, lamb kebabs, and many more – to experience the multitude of flavors the Silk Road town of Dunhuang provides. The confluence of multiple civilizations has also left traces in the rich handicrafts and fascinating art styles of Dunhuang, and we explore metal carving, layered-paint woodcut, and antique clay-tablet paintings.
The popularity of Dunhuang also reflects the development of the modern service industry and cultural tourism nationwide. In 2023, the number of domestic tourists and the total expenditure in China increased by 93 percent and 140 percent year on year, respectively. In 2023, Dunhuang City set new historical records in both the number of tourists received and tourism revenue, 427-percent and 639-percent increase respectively compared to the previous year. Through various measures, Dunhuang City has achieved a deep integration of cultural tourism and high-quality economic development.
