Dunhuang Music & Dance Immersive Show
乐动敦煌
A large walking immersive performance themed on the music and dance of Dunhuang murals. Audiences move through multiple scenes and interact closely with the performers.
The “Dance of Dunhuang” theater is located west of the Mogao Caves Digital Exhibition Center, in the area of the Greater Dunhuang Tourism Transfer Center. The theater covers about 8,000 square meters and has several viewing zones. Inspired by the musical instruments and dance poses in Dunhuang murals, the show uses walking and immersive staging to present Silk Road history and flying apsara music and dance. Audiences follow the storyline as they move and watch the performers up close. The performance lasts about 70 to 90 minutes. Ticket prices vary by seating zone (confirm with the official website). During peak season there are several shows a day. It is next to “Once Upon a Time in Dunhuang,” so you can choose one or the other, or schedule both over two evenings.
