On September 24, the 5th Silk Road (Dunhuang) International Cultural Expo and the 10th Dunhuang Tour - Silk Road International Tourism Festival was held in Dunhuang, northwest China's Gansu province.

 "Meeting in Dunhuang", an artistic performance combining music and dancing, was staged at the opening ceremony of the culture expo and tourism festival. 

The performance includes excerpts of the dance drama "Dunhuang Dream", which explores the prosperity of the ancient Silk Road and the beautiful vision and yearning of sharing civilizations.

The women's group dance "Auspicious Golden Light", selected from the landmark Chinese dance drama Flower Rains along the Silk Road, tells the legendary story of the construction of Mogao Grottoes. The "Thousand-hand Bodhisattva", a part of the group dance, has become a classic Chinese Dunhuang dance.

The men's group dance "Praise of Populus euphratica", with its distinctive music and dance and strong body language, deeply praises generations of people along the Silk Road in building a wonderful and harmonious spiritual home together.

"Meeting in Dunhuang" has become a widespread literary brand and is also a vivid portrayal of the spirit of the Dunhuang cultural expo.
