As night falls in Dunhuang City, markets glow and desert landscapes come alive with visitors. Northwest China's Gansu Province is turning its Silk Road heritage into new opportunities through a growing tourism economy.

In Yueyaquan Village, near the famous Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring scenic area, many households now earn income from tourism, like running guesthouses, offering camel rides, and providing travel services. What was once a quiet village has become part of a vibrant cultural tourism network. The province has also upgraded its "night economy," expanding the Shazhou Night Market and creating immersive cultural spaces where visitors can experience Silk Road traditions. (Photos via CFP)
