Dunhuang continues to inspire and nurture international artists

Artists, for many of whom this was there first time visiting Dunhuang, saw the murals and statues from different periods of time which they used to find only in books, and they were inspired to create artworks on site.

Chichina Yang Ni from the United States said that before the trip, she had imagined a lot about Duhuang and its artistic legacies in the desert of Northwest China. When she finally entered the caves, face-to-face with the Buddhist statues sculpted by artisans 1,000 years ago, she was able to observe those details with her own eyes. The art, the history and the natural surroundings jointly brought her unexpected feelings of awe.
