The Dunhuang Maogao Grotto, located in West Gansu Province, has always been praised as a uniquely brilliant art museum with a worldwide reputation. Altogether there are more than 2,400 colored sculptures and 4,500 square meters of frescoes in almost 500 grottoes. All of these art works reflect the daily life, customs and rites, costumes, astronomical and geographical knowledge, medicine and science, technology, songs and dances of various ethnic groups for some 1,560 years in ancient China. It is a wonder of the cultural history of all human beings around the world.

Art enthusiasts at the Dunhuang Arts Theater of Gansu Province dedicated themselves to studying Dunhuang art some 30 years ago. With their hard work and intrepid spirit, they created a large-scale dance drama "Flowers on the Silk Road", which had been performed in many countries to high praise from audiences. The piece was recognized as a milestone in Chinese dance history and a classic Chinese dance work of the 20th century.

The dramatic dances and moving songs briefly take our spirits and souls to the ancient Silk Road, which, today, has become a bridge of friendship among people all over the world.
