The show's first part introduces ancient people of relevance to Dunhuang via soliloquies.

In 1900, Taoist priest Wang Yuanlu accidentally opened up a sealed cave and found tens of thousands of invaluable manuscripts in different languages.

A man plays him in the show and says he regrets selling many manuscripts to overseas explorers, but his purpose was to use the money to restore the caves.

After the show is over, visitors can head to a bustling night market in the city for midnight snacks.

The place is lined with restaurants that sell mutton skewered on a reddish stem of Chinese tamarisk, beef stewed with dough strips, cold vegetable dishes in sauce and beer. And, of course, tasty dairy products like yogurt for dessert.

After food comes music.

There are many singers in the night market who can play the guitar and sing popular songs at just 10 yuan ($ 1.5) a piece.
