"Music of Dunhuang" is the world's first cave-style immersive experience drama supported by the Central Propaganda Department, planned by the Propaganda Department of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee, and produced by the Gansu Performing Arts Group. The work traces back to the Dunhuang culture, and uses the in-depth interpretation and sorting of the Mogao Grottoes murals and the ancient books of the Sutra Cave to activate the research and development results of Dunhuang ancient musical instruments and ancient music scores. It uses high-tech means such as holographic projection and 3D wire to interpret the moving story of the young man Bai from the Western Regions in pursuit of art in a fully immersive presentation. The play uses national musical instruments such as the five-string pipa, panpipe, lotus Ruan, and the timbre of Dunhuang imitation musical instruments, and interprets a variety of Dunhuang dances such as the Huxuan dance, waist drum and pipa dance, and the Kalavinka dance. With the repertoire music taken from the Dunhuang ancient music scores and the Western Regions tunes, it restores the music and dance scene in the Dunhuang murals, fully demonstrates the charm of Dunhuang's ancient music culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, and brings the audience a full range of audio-visual feasts.
Works created by:
The repertoire of "Music of Dunhuang" involves many professional fields such as literature, music, dance, choreography, stage lighting, costume design, etc. The creative team brings together many elite artists in various fields and experts in Dunhuang art and culture research. In order to reproduce the charm of Dunhuang music, dance, poetry and painting, the creative team has conducted in-depth research in Dunhuang many times, and has ingeniously conceived and presented the script conception, music arrangement, dance choreography, multimedia visual design, costume design, stage lighting design, etc., fully showing the magnificent scenery and grand momentum of Dunhuang culture.
Theater format:
The theater design of "Dunhuang" breaks through the limitations of traditional theater space dimensions. Based on the 735 caves of Mogao Grottoes, a "living" Cave 736 was created. By replicating the characteristic shapes of the Sutra Cave, Buddha niches, lotus platform, and caisson in the cave, combined with the music and dance scenes activated from the murals, an immersive cave theater that can be seen, heard, walked, and interacted is created. The total area of the theater is 18,000 square meters. It is the world's first cave-style immersive experience theater and a perfect combination of modern technology and Dunhuang art.
How to watch the show:
The "Dancing Dunhuang" theater is a huge stage without boundaries, divided into three major viewing areas, ABC, and each area carries a different viewing experience. Throughout the performance, the audience follows the movement trajectory of the protagonist Bai in the play, walking, standing, or sitting, exploring each space of the theater from shallow to deep, and gradually understanding the plot of the whole play. With the coordination of stage structure, scientific and technological means, and digital technology, you can not only feel a strong visual shock, but also experience a realistic cave crossing, allowing the audience's sensory emotions to fluctuate and change during the performance, and feel the brilliance and prosperity of poetry, dance, music, and painting in Dunhuang art at close range, and enjoy
Art experience.
Performance Mode:
Equipped with various sound, light, electricity and mechanical equipment, the "Music of Dunhuang" theater breaks the boundary between people and stage, allowing the audience to be in the theater, appreciate the actors' performances at a closer distance, experience the changes in light and shadow, and feel the intersection and fusion of performers, music, light and shadow. It truly realizes immersion in music, light and shadow, performance and soul, which is impossible to achieve in traditional theaters.
summary of the story:
Bai from the Western Regions, with her persistent pursuit of music, followed the Western Regions princess to the Central Plains as a dowry. She was attracted by the splendor and charm of the Central Plains civilization, and constantly integrated the musical elements of the Central Plains and the Western Regions to form a new court music.
During the Lantern Festival, Bai encountered a dancing girl, but could not recognize her because of the crowd. Dejected, Bai traveled to the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and was shocked by the profound art in the murals. He then abandoned all distractions, devoted himself to art, ushered in self-sublimation, and stayed in the Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang forever.
It implies that in life, one needs to experience thousands of experiences and go through many entanglements before one can break the shackles of desire, understand the truth of the world, gain inner awakening, and cultivate the ability and wisdom to transcend everything and turn around freely.
Synopsis:
Chapter 1: "Origin of Wonderful Music" - Interpretation of Western Region Music
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Bai Shi from the Western Regions was famous at a young age and looked down on all living beings. However, the elusive sound of birdsong made him fall into great anxiety. He decided to follow the Western Regions delegation to the Central Plains to meet the emperor and open up a whole new world for himself.
Chapter 2: Music on the Silk Road - Interpretation of the ritual music of the Central Plains
When passing through Dunhuang, Bai was shocked by the magnificent and vast musical world and mysterious music scores in the murals. He decided to stay there for a while to study and thus began to dream of integrating the essence of Eastern and Western music.
Chapter 3: "Shangyuan Taegae" - the interpretation of folk music in the Central Plains
The gorgeous Lantern Festival in Dunhuang brought Bai Shi into a long-lost taste of the human world, and people's desire for a happy life made him feel compassionate. After the prosperity faded away, facing the murals, Bai Shi fell into solitary thought, as if he had merged into it.
Chapter 4: "A Magnificent Chapter" - Interpretation of Dunhuang Music
In the Dunhuang murals, there are flying fairies more graceful than girls on earth, lanterns and flames more splendid than the Lantern Festival, and the heavenly sounds of the birds that he has been pursuing. When all these came together, Bai finally understood that the selfless dedication to fame and the mixed joys and sorrows of heaven and earth are the vast realm of artistic creation. Facing the bright moon alone and playing a pipa tune, this young man who pursued his dreams finally created a work in Dunhuang that comforted his life and realized his grand dream of integrating Eastern and Western music.

If the murals of Mogao Caves came alive before your eyes……Before bringing my family to Dunhuang, we did a lot of research Mogao Caves, Mingsha Mountain, Crescent Lake, and Sons of the Earth These were pretty much as expected What exceeded expectations was the show "Rhythm of Dunhuang" My family kept saying how great it was Because we visited Mogao Caves during the day Then came to Rhythm of Dunhuang at night The restored caves, flying apsaras, bodhisattvas, and vajras left a deep impression. The whole 70-minute show was intense and really not long enough!! ‼️ Holiday check-in guide for "Rhythm of Dunhuang" 👀 here ✅ The first two parts are walking tours inside the caves, following the main character’s perspective. Especially when the second door opens, it feels like the murals come alive. The wrathful vajra suddenly moves, and the beautiful bodhisattva is unforgettable, haha ✅ The final performance is seated, so it’s not tiring at all. Try to sit in the middle if you can, but the core rows are VIP. You can choose the 399 "Dunren ticket," which is basically VIP plus a 1 yuan upgrade for a great value package It includes a map, a large and practical bright green bag. I used this bag to carry things for the next few days ✅ After the show, it’s still early, and outside is the lively Shangyuan market, where you can check in and take photos. Dunhuang’s nightlife is really vibrant ‼️ Tips: 1️⃣ It’s only a 10-minute walk from Mogao Caves. The best plan is to visit Mogao Caves in the afternoon and watch Rhythm of Dunhuang at night for a perfect day 2⃣️ The special caves at Mogao Caves are very expensive. This show lets you see many murals, bodhisattvas, and ancient music from those special caves, which saved us money 3⃣️ During holidays, there are more showtimes and more flexible optionsHarper Foster^35

Featured Performance (Part 6) ~ Melodic Dunhuang.Melodic Dunhuang ~ "Listen to the echoes of a millennia of history, and watch the murals' music and dance come to life off the walls." It's the world's first cave-style immersive theatre experience!! Renowned for its digitalized 🔢 performances and tech-empowered artistry, the show perfectly recreates elements of the Mogao Grottoes, such as the Library Cave, Lotus Pedestal, and the Caisson ceiling. It's now celebrated as one of the "Four Classic Shows of Dunhuang"❗️ 🎞️ Story Synopsis: Inspired by the murals and ancient texts of the Library Cave in the World Heritage site "Mogao Grottoes" 📗, the production team deeply interpreted thousands of years of history to successfully bring their research on ancient Dunhuang musical instruments 🎷 and scores 🎼 back to life. The core story revolves around "Bai Xin," a musical genius from the Western Regions. It follows his passionate pursuit of music as he travels with a merchant caravan along the Silk Road. After a period of feeling lost, he finally discovers the true meaning of art and the moving essence of life within the Dunhuang murals. This dream-chasing journey features incredibly stimulating audio-visual effects. If you get the chance, you absolutely must come and see it 👀!! 🎭 Performance Highlights: ~ A Cross-Time Dialogue Between Bai and the Murals ~ The main storyline follows "the artistic quest of the Western Region youth, Bai Xin." The protagonist, Bai Xin, embodies the traits of musicians from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He travels to the Central Plains as part of a princess's 👸 dowry escort but loses himself amidst the endless sand dunes and cultural blending. It isn't until he reaches Dunhuang and witnesses the solemn majesty of the Thousand Buddhas and the breathtaking beauty of the mural musicians that his soul ❤️ is deeply shaken . This inspires him to masterfully blend the refined court music of the Central Plains with the ethnic music of the Western Regions, composing a magnificent symphony that echoes through the ages 🎵~ ~ An Immersive Journey Breaking Stage Boundaries ~ The unique viewing format is a "mobile theatre experience." The entire play breaks the rigid boundaries between the audience and the stage found in traditional theatres 🔜. The venue is divided into three major viewing zones. Instead of simply sitting in chairs 🪑, the audience must follow the protagonist Bai Xin's movement path 👣, standing or sitting as they go. As the scenes change, you might find yourself amidst the desert sandstorms 🏜️ with a Silk Road caravan one moment, and strolling through a brilliantly bustling market street the next. You get to experience the soul-touching sensation of being surrounded by flying apsaras and dancers at zero distance 🥹. The immersion is so intense that you'll feel like the main character of the story yourself! ✨ Must-See Highlights: ~ Cave-Style Theatre ~ This custom-built theatre is a massive stage without boundaries, highly replicating the grotto structures and intricate caisson ceilings of the Mogao Grottoes inside. Surrounded by 360-degree lighting and shadows, audiences feel as if they are literally "walking into the murals." It's a perfect combination of extreme visual shock and a realistic cave-traveling experience. Absolutely a feast for the senses!! ~ Recreation of Classic Mural Dances ~ The performance fully resurrects the grand music and dance scenes depicted in the Dunhuang murals. Actors on stage nimbly perform the relaxed backward-playing of the pipa, the light and graceful flying apsaras music, and the passionate and uninhibited Sogdian Whirl (Huxuan) and waist drum dances. Every freeze-frame and spin precisely recreates thousands of years of aesthetic lines 🤩 ~ Shangyuan Market ~ This is an interactive intangible cultural heritage street area built next to the theatre, modeled after the ancient Silk Road. The market features the Han and Tang Dynasty East Market and the Western Regions West Market, along with unique sights like the Cloud Palace Flying Immortal Archway and the Step-Singing Terrace. It panoramically recreates the bustling, vibrant atmosphere of ancient Dunhuang, where "merchants and travelers were endlessly on the road."

Small Life, Big Moments: Changan Takes You to Tour DunhuangThere is an event on the Changan Qiyuan app where car enthusiasts can sign up to visit Dunhuang and experience the charm of the Mogao Caves! I signed up with a try-it-out attitude and was unexpectedly lucky to be selected! Packed my bags and started a special forces-style trip! By the time we arrived at the hotel, it was already past 10 PM. The Changan team was still waiting for us on the first floor to check us in and arrange our rooms! The next day, they took us to visit the Mogao Caves. Unfortunately, photography is currently not allowed inside the caves! After a full day of activities, the car enthusiasts went from strangers to good friends! In the evening, we watched the Le Dong Dunhuang performance together! The show was fantastic, and the applause lasted long after it ended! After the show, we returned to the hotel to rest. One car enthusiast suggested going to the desert to see the Milky Way. Curious about what the Milky Way really looks like, I went along with them. Their photography skills were amazing and captured some very precious moments for us! Thanks to Changan for giving me the chance to travel through time and come to Dunhuang! To experience the Silk Road from a thousand years ago! And to personally create intangible cultural heritage paintings!N1ghtstr1d3r_@byssus
Is the Northwest worth visiting in winter? My answer is yesWhen asked repeatedly, "Is going to the Northwest in winter a form of self-torture?" After trying it myself, I just want to say: this is the most treasured way to experience the Northwest! Especially in Dunhuang during winter, with fewer people, pure scenery, and the healing surprise of "Le Dong Dunhuang"—once you go, you’ll never forget it~ In winter, the Northwest is free from the crowds of peak season and filled with purity and grandeur: the desert of Mingsha Mountain is bathed in winter sunlight, and when riding a camel across the dunes, behind you are only footprints and the sound of the wind. If you happen to encounter snow, you will witness the breathtaking beauty of Dunhuang. The biggest surprise is Dunhuang’s "Le Dong Dunhuang"! After a day of traveling, stepping into the theater instantly heals you with immersive light and shadow and ancient music. The millennium-old murals "come alive" before your eyes, the camel bells of the Silk Road travel through time, and as the dancers’ skirts flutter, it feels like you’ve walked a segment of the Silk Road with the ancients. All the fatigue from the journey and the winter cold vanish in this audiovisual feast—this is the soul of traveling in Dunhuang~ ✨【Winter Northwest Travel Tips】 ▫️Great value: Airfare, hotels, and car rentals are half the price of peak season, making it easy for budget travelers to enjoy, plus you can unlock high-quality accommodations. ▫️Packing guide: Down jacket + fleece pants + snow boots + scarf and gloves; sandwich-style dressing to handle the temperature difference between day and night, staying warm indoors and in the theater. ▫️"Le Dong Dunhuang" Tips: You can get a 15% discount with a Mogao Caves ticket; seats in the middle area offer the best audiovisual experience; briefly learn the history before the show to double your emotional connection. ▫️Avoid pitfalls: The Northwest is dry, so bring moisturizer, lip balm, and sunscreen; some roads may have ice and snow, so choose an experienced driver for car rentals. Winter in the Northwest is free of noise, only the grandeur of mountains, rivers, and lakes, the profoundness of millennia-old culture, and the warmth and emotion brought by "Le Dong Dunhuang." If you’re tired of the city crowds and want a healing and unique trip, don’t hesitate—just go for it!VoittoLepp?l?

Immersive Nights at Ancient Sound of Dunhuang: A Must-Experience in DunhuangAfter exploring the Ancient Sound of Dunhuang, I rated it a solid 5 out of 5 as a night attraction—it's an excellent core cultural experience! The innovative two-stage audio-visual show truly left me in awe, making this attraction stand out among Dunhuang's Top 20 Global Traveller-Picked Attractions. The show perfectly blends stunning landscapes with authentic cultural elements, making it a memorable stop. What pleasantly surprised me most was the creativity and immersive nature of the audio-visual presentation. Every moment felt thoughtfully designed, and both the name and location information were accurate, which made planning my visit smooth. The entrance at 阳关东路7970号 is easy to find, and it's open from 9:00 AM to late at night. Tips for future visitors: There's no need to splurge on VIP tickets, as they don't offer much advantage over regular seating—just be quick to grab the best regular seats since they're unassigned. Day or night, the experience holds up, but make sure to arrive a bit early for optimal seat selection. Enjoy your visit to this unforgettable Dunhuang highlight! ✨ #tripbest #tripbest _reviewerVinceX

Fortunately, on the murals, flying apsaras play the pipa, and Hu-style dancers float like returning snow—the prosperity and faith of a thousand years are frozen in stone walls, quietly awaiting a revival. "Rhythms of Dunhuang" is this long-awaited awakening. Ancient Charm Reborn: A Spark from Stone Walls to Stage As the theater doors slowly open, the starry sky twinkles overhead, and an ancient, mysterious aura envelops you. At this moment, you have stepped into a time tunnel, drifting deep into the Silk Road a thousand years ago with the distant music. This is no ordinary theater. It is the world’s first cave-style immersive experience drama, replicating the design of the Mogao Caves’ Sutra Library, Buddhist niches, and lotus platforms inside. The audience does not sit before a framed stage but stands or walks inside a "cave" surrounded by murals, watching flowing-robed musicians pass by, fierce Vajra guardians leap from the stone walls, and flying apsaras dance gracefully in midair—those images frozen in murals come to life here, within reach. Silk Road Symphony: A Legend of Fusion and Original Aspiration The protagonist is Bai Xin, a young boy from the Western Regions. He travels east with a peace envoy, chasing the most beautiful music in his heart. From youthful fame and confusion on the westward journey to the shock of Dunhuang’s mural music and dance, his heart opens wide. From then on, he casts aside distractions, blending elegant Central Plains music with Western Region Hu music, becoming a master of his era. Bai Xin’s character merges the legends of Kucha musician Su Qipo and Sui-Tang musician Bai Mingda. It was Su Qipo’s "Five Tones and Seven Sounds" theory that laid the foundation of Chinese classical music, composing a glorious chapter of openness and fusion along the Silk Road. A Feast for the Senses: Lost Ancient Music Resounds Again The creative team collaborated with the Dunhuang Research Academy to systematically study the music and dance images in Mogao Caves No. 220, No. 112, and others, restoring the timbres and forms of over 50 ancient Dunhuang instruments such as the konghou, pipa, and pan flute. Through digital modeling and acoustic analysis, those long-lost ancient musical scales resound again in a modern theater. Holographic projection, 3D wire-flying, mechanical devices, and immersive sound technology transform static murals into dynamic stage presentations. Flying apsara dancers twirl around the audience, Hu-style spinning, waist drum, and pipa dances—each movement precisely recreates the mural imagery. When the "Fierce-eyed Vajra" appears, the guardian deity stepping out from the polychrome sculpture of Cave 206, with muscular lines and sharp eyes, sometimes even shakes hands with the audience, eliciting awe throughout the hall. More Than a Show: A Cultural Pilgrimage You Can Walk Through "Rhythms of Dunhuang" is more than a play. It is a cultural tourism complex, a "cultural classroom" you can watch, listen to, walk through, and interact with. The Shangyuan Market recreates the prosperity of the ancient Silk Road, with East Market Han-Tang Street, West Market Western Region Street, and a central food plaza gathering intangible cultural heritage creations and Silk Road cuisine. Year-round, it hosts the Lantern Lighting Ceremony and cultural performances. In the new cultural space of Rhythms of Dunhuang, VR technology recreates special caves and vanished murals, allowing visitors to personally experience clay painting and sculpture, becoming "new era patrons." Epilogue: A Millennium in a Moment, the Music Never Stops Since its premiere in Dunhuang in 2023, "Rhythms of Dunhuang" has been performed over 2,600 times, welcoming more than 910,000 visitors. It carries ancient music into new arrangements internationally, letting Dunhuang’s vibrant beauty cross mountains and seas to reach even farther destinations. Echoes of the Silk Road, the music never stops. When the flying apsaras’ ribbons brush past millennia of wind and sand, when lost ancient music plays again in your ears—that moment, the distance of time between you and Dunhuang disappears.

Dunhuang New Year's Trip｜3 Days 2 Nights of Ultimate Relaxation, Experience the Living Millennium Silk Road at Le Dong Dunhuang📅 Super Healing Slow Travel Itinerary D1: Arrive in Dunhuang → Check in to city hotel → Quiet reading and relaxation at Dunhuang Bookstore → Try local delicacies → Stargazing at Mingsha Mountain D2: In-depth visit to Mogao Caves → Rest in the evening → Immersive performance at Le Dong Dunhuang → Explore and eat at Shangyuan Market D3: Explore ancient Yangguan Pass → Feel the desolation of the Gobi at Yumenguan Pass → Return trip ✨ Highlight Praise! Le Dong Dunhuang Immersive Experience This is definitely the highlight of the trip! Imagine, after seeing the static millennium murals at Mogao Caves during the day, you encounter the "living" Silk Road spectacle at Le Dong Dunhuang at night. The feeling of this time-space dialogue is absolutely amazing. It is the world's first cave-style immersive drama. The entire theater feels like the Mogao Caves murals have been "brought to life." Upon entering, the atmosphere is instantly immersive. There are no fixed seats at the front; you follow the guide slowly, brushing past musicians and dancers dressed in gorgeous Dunhuang costumes, as if about to step into the murals at any moment. Sitting in area C to watch the show, the pacing is excellent, with delicate details of Dunhuang music and dance, never feeling boring. Highly recommend everyone to buy the costume ticket! Wearing the costumes to take photos inside the theater instantly blends you into the scene, with a 100% chance of great shots! Plus, if you buy Mogao Caves tickets and add Le Dong Dunhuang tickets, you get a 15% discount, making it a great value during the off-season~ ⚠️ Off-season Travel Tips 1. Dunhuang gets dark early in the off-season, so be sure to wear a thick down jacket and snow boots when going out at night, and don't forget hand warmers; however, the temperature inside Le Dong Dunhuang venue is comfortable, so you don't need to wear too much, making costume changes and photos less bulky~ 2. Le Dong Dunhuang performs year-round, so you can visit safely even in the off-season. It is recommended to call ahead to reserve costume tickets. 3. City hotels offer great value; it is recommended to choose one near Shazhou Night Market, where you can walk to eat and explore, making travel very convenient. If you also like to slow down and feel the culture of a city, Dunhuang in the off-season is definitely worth a visit! Especially the immersive experience at Le Dong Dunhuang makes the millennium Silk Road no longer just words in books, but a tangible romance~Joseph_tik

Other visitors' reviews of Ancient Sound of Dunhuang
Show More Reviews-Review 28/08/2026: A very nice and relaxing show!! At first you walk through different stages and see the performers dancing in front of you. Then you get to sit and see the rest of the show. I think wherever you sit is fine because you can see the stage clearly. -Transportation: You can go by the bus which goes to the Mogao Grottoes, the theater for this performance is near and there is a stop for this or you can tell the driver where you want to go. Then you can wait from the other side to get the bus back to the city.
