The 7th Silk Road (Dunhuang) International Cultural Expo lit up Gansu Province this week, blending tradition and rhythm to showcase China’s multicultural tapestry. 💃🪕 Kazakh dancer Kulimujian, alongside her partner, mesmerized crowds with the vibrant Heizouma dance—a centuries-old Kazakh tradition celebrating community and movement.
Launched on September 21 in Dunhuang, a historic hub along the ancient Silk Road, the expo spotlighted songs, dances, and melodies from diverse ethnic groups. From throat singing to stringed instruments, the event felt like a cultural mirage come to life 🏜️—bridging past and present while uniting global audiences.
\"Dance is how we share our stories,\" Kulimujian shared post-performance. The expo, often dubbed a ‘living museum,’ continues through this week, offering workshops and interactive displays for visitors to dive deeper into China’s rich heritage.
