Step into a time machine where ancient caves meet VR headsets! 🕶️ The 7th Silk Road (Dunhuang) International Cultural Expo just wrapped up in Gansu Province, blending 2,000 years of history with futuristic tech. Think digital recreations of Mogao Caves’ Buddha statues, AI-powered artifact restorations, and holographic performances of Tang Dynasty dances – all under one roof! 🏯💫
Local artisans demonstrated traditional sand painting and mural techniques 🖌️ alongside startups pitching blockchain platforms to preserve cultural IP. Visitors even tried on AR goggles to ‘walk’ through Dunhuang’s ancient markets – complete with virtual camel caravans! 🐪✨
\"This is how we keep heritage alive,\" said curator Li Wei, showing a 3D-printed replica of a weathered Silk Road manuscript. \"When Gen Z interacts with history through TikTok-style filters, they become its new guardians.\" 📜🔒
