Dunhuang FeiTian Dance show, some professionals translate is on fresco to our real life, showing in a totally different style. The ancient dance of Dunhuang revives from the Dunhuang fresco. You may see the dance in theatre, or in some hotels. If you are lucky, you may come across the professional show.

At any one time, around 50 caves are open to the general public, and access is only possible as part of a guided tour. Although the guide will have a flashlight, it is advisable to bring your own, but be prudent with its use - the frescos and pigments are damaged by light. If you are referring to one of the specialist guide books, note that the cave numbering system has changed, which makes it all a little confusing. The highlight for many fast-paced fleet-footed tour groups are the northern and southern Big Buddha caves, which, artistically are among the least interesting, so if you let your guide know that you are willing to skip these, you will have a lot more time to see some of the more interesting caves. Forget about seeing the caves depicting scenes of tantric sex: these are off-limits to all but the most serious of researchers. Cameras are not allowed in the caves; they have to be deposited at a locker-room near the ticket office, and this explains why there are none shown on these pages.

Dunhuang is an ideal place. Apart from these well known attractions, such as the Mogao Grottoes and desert, etc, the city itself is lovely. Nostalgic. This is the first word I could think of. The city is an ordinary town with its own charm. The red leaves, the blue sky, bright sunlight and cold wind. Strolling along the streets, I could think of nothing or anything. Peace was filled in my heart. The busy night market provides a lot of delicacies as well as venue for locals, who enjoy leisure life rhythm. Beef noodle here is superior, delicious and suitable for the cold weather.

This is a city one needs to feel with heart not just eyes. As the fox told the Little Prince, one can see only what is essential by looking with the heart. The stars are beautiful, because of a flower that cannot be seen. Maybe one day I will go to Dunhuang again, without sightseeing but just live as the locals.
