A new performance in Dunhuang, Northwest China's Gansu province, revives the musical and dance scenes depicted in the murals of the Mogao Caves and offers an immersive experience for the audience to experience the charm of the UNESCO World Heritage site.

Ancient Sound of Dunhuang, launched on Thursday, is based on research into the ancient musical instruments and music scores featured either on the murals or in ancient manuscripts of the Library Cave, or Cave 17 of the Mogao Caves.
