The classic Chinese dance drama "Flower Rains along the Silk Road" recently graced the stage in Lanzhou, capital of Northwest China's Gansu province, with the audience raving about the production.

The drama is based on the Dunhuang frescoes and the Silk Road, with a theme of peace and friendship. It portrays Dunhuang painter Shen Bizhang and his daughter, Ying Niang, and their pure friendship with a Persian merchant. It vividly presents the extensive and profound Dunhuang culture in an artistic style.

Flower Rains Along the Silk Road eulogizes the people who created Dunhuang culture and tells stories of friendly exchanges between Chinese and foreigners along the ancient trading route.
